Attorneys for 3 last-known survivors of 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre appeal dismissed reparations case

The appeal was filed Friday on behalf of the last known living survivors of the attack, all of whom are now over 100 years old. They are seeking reparations from the city and other defendants for the destruction of the once-thriving Black district known as Greenwood.
