Tulsa Race Massacre

The U.S. Department of Justice released a new report Friday on the Tulsa Race Massacre more than 100 after publishing its first account.

A commission exploring reparations for descendants of 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre survivors and north Tulsans has been formed, and it has a clear initial focus: housing.

Justice for Greenwood team members rejoiced at the news, which comes months after a major legal defeat.

After the dismissal of their case, attorneys representing survivors Lessie Benningfield Randle and Viola Fletcher want another chance in front of the state’s justices.

Attorneys for the two remaining survivors addressed the state's highest court directly in an effort to get their reparations case back to trial. Community members in Tulsa watched the proceedings live.

Survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre are hoping the Oklahoma Supreme Court will hear their case.

Crews finished "test excavations" a day earlier than scheduled.

People who believe they are descendants of Tulsa Race Massacre victims can now provide genetic material to help scientists try to identify remains of possible victims.

"Race is the central question of American history, and Walter White is the riddle within.... [White led] dangerous investigations for the NAACP throughout the Jim Crow South [and] changed the way Americans viewed the awful practice of lynching.... 'White Lies' finally gives this American hero his due." -- Jeffrey A. Engel, Director of the Center for Presidential History
