Here’s some great news from Tulsa.

Everyone at the descendant reunion was honoring and remembering the horrific events that happened May 31st and June 1st, 1921, when an angry white mob burned down Greenwood, killing people and destroying homes and families. Fast forward to today, June 1st, 2025, a new glimmer of hope towards justice.

“Our effort is not to assign blame. It’s not simply to dig up the past, but this is about bringing closure to families,” Mayor Nichols said.

Mayor Nichols is making a historic announcement in his Road to Repair, addressing the systematic impacts of the Massacre. $105 million that will be privately raised for a trust fund that is going towards housing, homeownership, cultural preservation, and a legacy fund to help the generations to come, and the release of historical records to the public.

“This is about reconciliation. It is about repair. It’s about renewal, and it’s about righteousness. Make no mistake, this is not a question about your politics. This is a question of your faith and about finding our way back to each other,” Mayor Nichols said.

Release of historical records is particularly noteworthy. In 1921 there was national news and condemnation of the KKK violence in Tulsa. And yet somehow they still were able to erase or suppress the records so heavily that mass unmarked graves are still being uncovered.
