Archeologists searching for mass graves that could contain victims of the 1921 Race Massacre move to Newblock Park in West Tulsa. OU Senior Researcher Scott Hammerstedt says last week they also searched a small area in a homeless camp near downtown, following up on speculation bodies may have been dumped there.
Plans are to spend only one day at Newblock, then it’s back to Oak Lawn, the site of the original search, to check a couple of other areas there. Results won’t be presented to a committee until late this year or early next year.
