Oklahoma Supreme Court dismisses 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre reparations lawsuit.

Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by two surviving victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, seeking reparations for the destruction of the Greenwood district and the ongoing effects of the massacre, including racial disparities, economic inequalities, and trauma among survivors and their descendants. The court ruled that the plaintiffs' grievances did not fall within the scope of Oklahoma's public nuisance statute and were not supported by claims for unjust enrichment, limiting the options for the survivors to seek justice or compensation for their losses.
