Last known survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre appeal dismissal of reparations case

Attorneys for the last three known survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre filed an appeal Monday requesting the Oklahoma Supreme Court pick up their lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 attack. An estimated 300 African-Americans were killed by a white mob in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, one of the wealthiest black communities in the United States, during the two-day massacre. The reparations they are seeking include punitive damages, a scholarship program for the descendants of the victims of the massacre, and education programs for current Greenwood District residents.
