DOJ finds 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was a systemic, Military-style attack.
The Justice department concluded the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was a "coordinated, military-style attack" as the agency released the finds of its investigation..
On May 31 and June 1, 1921, white rioters murdered an estimated 300 Black residents of Tulsa, Oklahoma's Greenwood neighborhood, known as Black Wall Street, and looted and destroyed their homes and businesses.
The report also states there are no living perpetrators for the Justice Department to prosecute..
The last two remaining survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Fletcher and Lessie Benningfield Randle - both 110 years old - have been seeking justice and reparations for years. Last year, the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed their case.

How shameful this took so long!
How shameful those two Black elders got no reparations!
How shameful that with so many Black faces in high places like the White House, the Congress, mainstream media, entertainment industry, sports $millionaires etc etc., the victims & survivors got no justice.
BLACK FOLKS, COME ON!
