Tulsa Race Massacre: President Biden commemorates 100-year anniversary

[sarahazhari]

Mr Biden flew to Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday to mark the 100th anniversary of the attack, which claimed some 300 African-American lives.The two days of violence, sparked by a white mob, were largely erased from history for decades.It re-entered the national discourse amid racial justice protests last year.
On 31 May 1921, a group of white Americans razed the affluent and predominantly black neighbourhood of Greenwood in Tulsa.The community - known by the moniker of "Black Wall Street" - was the country's wealthiest African-American neighbourhood until its many homes and businesses were burned down in the riot.In addition to the lives lost, many more black Americans were left injured or homeless.

In the years following the incident, many official records were lost or destroyed, and schools did not teach about the massacre.Speaking in Tulsa on Tuesday, Mr Biden said: "For much too long, the history of what took place here was told in silence, cloaked in darkness.""My fellow Americans, this was not a riot. This was a massacre, and among the worst in our history. But not the only one."Less than two years after the Tulsa massacre, a white mob destroyed the black town of Rosewood in rural Florida.On 31 May, Mr Biden issued a proclamation for a day of remembrance.

"We honour the legacy of the Greenwood community and of Black Wall Street by reaffirming our commitment to advance racial justice through the whole of our government, and working to root out systemic racism from our laws, our policies, and our hearts," read a statement from the White House.Only three survivors of the massacre - currently aged between 101 and 107 - are still alive. Mr Biden is expected to meet them during his trip.The president began his visit on Tuesday with a tour of the Hall of Survivors, an exhibit about the massacre at the Greenwood Cultural Center.
