The U.S. Justice Department reviews the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre under a cold-case initiative.

The U.S. Justice Department will review the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, a significant act of violence against African Americans, where a white mob attacked the prosperous Greenwood District, resulting in around 300 deaths and extensive destruction. Conducted under a cold-case initiative, the review is not expected to lead to prosecutions of living individuals. A report on the findings is anticipated by year-end, welcomed by descendants advocating for compensation.
