John — Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre that left more than 300 Black Americans dead and more than 10,000 members of that community homeless.
In 1921, Ku Klux Klan members and a white mob terrorized the thriving Greenwood community for two days, beginning on May 31st, 1921. Hundreds of people were left dead or injured, and thousands of them lost the homes and businesses they’d worked so hard to build. And to add insult to injury, the victims of Greenwood massacre have YET to see justice for what happened.
The survivors of this horrific event deserve accountability for the trauma they endured as children. Will you sign on in support of justice for the victims of the Tulsa massacre?
Viola Fletcher, her brother, Hughes Van Ellis, and Lessie Benningfield Randle bravely testified before the House Judiciary committee of the horrors they experienced that night. Ms. Fletcher, who was 7 years old at the time of the massacre still remembers the smoke and fires and Black bodies in the streets
For nearly a century, the doors of justice have been slammed shut for the victims of the Tulsa massacre. Now Hank has introduced a bill that would open up those doors and allow the survivors and their descendants to make their case in court.
But now we need to know, John: Do you support justice for the victims of the 1920 Tulsa massacre and their descendants?
Fighting for justice,
— Hank HQ
