Today marks 105 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the deadliest acts of racial violence in American history. On May 31, 1921, a white supremacist mob destroyed the thriving #Greenwood District in #Tulsa, Oklahoma, a prosperous Black community known as Black Wall Street. Hundreds of Black residents were murdered, families were displaced, and homes, businesses, and generations of wealth were burned to the ground. Now more than a century later, we remember the lives lost, honor the resilience of the survivors and descendants, and refuse to allow this history to be erased or forgotten. As attacks rooted in hate and extremism continue to threaten our communities, the legacy of Tulsa reminds us why the fight for truth, justice, equity, and racial progress must continue.
