TULSA, OKLAHOMA – The Justice Department recently announced a close review of the Tulsa Race Massacre, where hundreds died in a thriving Black community in 1921. Locals say the scars of that violence still run deep, and many are turning to history as a bridge toward healing and reconciliation. Viola Fletcher, a survivor of the massacre, recounts the horrors. "I will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home. I still see Black men being shot. Black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire – I still see Black businesses being burned... I hear the screams, I have lived through the massacre every day," she said. The historic Greenwood District, once known as "Black Wall Street," saw its bustling business area and more than two dozen churches set ablaze by a mob of white men in 1921. Today, only three of those churches remain, residing as symbols of hope, survival, and reconciliation.
