Officials in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have formed a new commission to propose how reparations can be made for the 1921 massacre that devastated a prosperous Black community in the city.
The panel will evaluate a 2023 report for Tulsa and a 2001 state commission report on the Tulsa Race Massacre, during which a white mob killed up to 300 Black residents and destroyed the Greenwood District, known as “Black Wall Street.” Both reports advocate financial reparations, a measure Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum has opposed.
