1921 graves search

The 1921 Tulsa race riots began after a Black man was accused of assaulting a white woman. The case was later dismissed in court, but historians estimate that up to 300 people died during the riots.

The update follows a third excavation at Oaklawn Cemetery in 2023 that uncovered over 50 unmarked graves.

The city's latest search for more victims of the 1921 Race Massacre wrapped up with experts from the research team updating members of the media before the final set of remains was exhumed.

According to the city's researcher team, some 50 more grave shafts have been exposed and one exhumation on Wednesday.

Researchers announced a "geophysical anomaly" had been detected during a test excavation this summer. Now, they're digging deeper.
