Oklahoma Supreme Court to Reconsider 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Reparations Case

  • Three survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, all over 100 years old, are appealing the dismissal of their lawsuit seeking reparations.
  • The Oklahoma Supreme Court has agreed to review the appeal and determine if the case can proceed to district court.
  • The survivors argue the massacre's impact continues to affect Tulsa's Black community and constitutes an ongoing public nuisance.
  • The state has declined to discuss a potential settlement, arguing the plaintiffs failed to outline an identifiable claim.
  • The lawsuit names the city, county, state entities and others as defendants responsible for the destruction of Tulsa's Greenwood district.
