Possible Mass Grave from Tulsa Race Massacre Located
By
John C Abercrombie
As we look at the Tulsa Massacre, we hear that many of the bodies were buried in mass graves, others were dumped in the river. Signifying that they represented no value to government officials who were more concerned about disposing of information about the event.
They went so far as to destroy documents, including the newspaper account that first blasted the news of the lynching, among others.
Now with the use of science and hard work, some of the sites may have been uncovered. See the work that has resulted so far. It is a search that is still underway, so stay informed on the latest news of discoveries in this case.

Restaurants and movie theaters, churches and doctors’ offices, a hospital, a public library, a post office. Looted, burned, and bombed from the air. Over the course of less than twenty-four hours in the spring of 1921, Tulsa’s infamous “Black Wall Street” was wiped off the map—and erased from the history books. Official records were disappeared, researchers were threatened, and the worst single incident of racial violence in American history was kept hidden for more than fifty years. But there were some secrets that would not die.

Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921:
The History of Black Wall Street, and its Destruction in America’s Worst and Most Controversial Racial Riot On the morning of June 1, 1921, a white mob numbering in the thousands marched across the railroad tracks dividing black from white in Tulsa, Oklahoma They obliterated a black community then celebrated as one of America’s most prosperous. 34 square blocks of Tulsa’s Greenwood community, known then as the Black Wall Street of America, were reduced to smoldering rubble. 99 years later, the death toll of what is known as the Tulsa Race Riot is more difficult to pinpoint. Conservative estimates put the number of dead at about 100 (75% of the victims are believed to have been black), but the actual number of casualties could be triple that. In this book, you will discover. How racism and envy. Destroyed a prospering black community, and how it was covered up.

The massacre of Tulsa’s “Black Wall Street”
Nearly 100 years ago, a white mob destroyed an American neighborhood called “Black Wall Street,” murdering an estimated 300 people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. That incident — known as the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre — has been largely left out of US history books. Today, a century later, the city still has a lot of questions. For one, where are the bodies of the victims? As the city’s mayor re-opens the search for mass graves, we take a look at what happened back in 1921…and why finding these graves still matters to the people of Tulsa.

Death in a Promised Land:
The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 Widely believed to be the most extreme incidence of white racial violence against African Americans in modern United States history, the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre resulted in the destruction of over one thousand black-owned businesses and homes as well as the murder of between fifty and three hundred black residents. Exhaustively researched and critically acclaimed, Scott Ellsworth’s Death in a Promised Land is the definitive account of the Tulsa race riot and its aftermath, in which much of the history of the destruction and violence was covered up. It is the compelling story of racial ideologies, southwestern politics, and incendiary journalism, and of an embattled black community’s struggle to hold onto its land and freedom. More than just the chronicle of one of the nation’s most devastating racial pogroms, this critically acclaimed study of American race relations is, above all, a gripping story of terror and lawlessness, and of courage, heroism, and human perseverance

We see problems with the history as it is presented. It ignores many significant events, overlooks people and their contributions. The result? People have a tainted view of life as a person of color. The problems are magnified, and the contributions are minimized or outright ignored. Leaving people, even those identified, with a skewed view of what they are capable of. This is a disservice to America and the world. It is time a moment to learn and open critical dialogue to remove this blight from the country.
