100 years ago, Oklahoma was home to one of the largest and wealthiest Black communities in the United States. The community of Greenwood was a burgeoning Black city center, on its way to becoming a source of generational wealth for Black Tulsans.
On the night of May 31st, the entire community was wiped out by hatred. After a false accusation, angry white Tulsans and members of the local Ku Klux Klan chapter stormed the town and murdered over 300 Black Tulsans in cold blood, injured thousands of others, and displaced nearly the entire town. Over 100 years later, and no one has been held accountable.
We have the chance to take steps towards a better America. Team — We’re calling on Congress to allow Black Tulsans to have their day in court, will you sign on in support of justice for the victims of the Greenwood massacre?
Generational trauma from the event is still felt in Black Tulsans today, and it's time justice was served. Few families returned to the area, and the families that did stayed silent to avoid retaliation by white Tulsans. What was once a bustling, thriving community was wiped out through hours of terror over a false accusation.
Folks — Justice must be served. The survivors, descendants, and their families deserve accountability for what was stolen from them that night. Will you sign on in support of justice for the victims and descendants of the Greenwood massacre?
— Team Clarke
