A lawsuit seeking reparations and rebuilding to address historical damage done by the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre has been dismissed.
of the assault by a white mob that killed an estimated 300 Black Americans in a community often called"the Black Wall Street" of its day, was dismissed by an Oklahoma judge Friday, according to its record.
The massacre most likely started as a misunderstanding, or a lie. A Black boy got into an elevator with a white girl in Tulsa, and after they emerged the local newspaper suggested he had tried to sexually assault her, an allegation never endorsed by the girl. The rioting gutted the heart of the Black community, which would never recover to the lofty days before May 31, 1921.
The plaintiffs have argued the city, county and state created a public nuisance, or at least stood by when it happened, and then used it to enrich their respective governments. The suit cites apologies by the city's mayor and by a commander of the Oklahoma National Guard, the latter of whom admitted troops did nothing to save the community.
