1921 Tulsa Race Riot Commission

The 1921 Tulsa Race Riot Commission was established to investigate and understand the devastating racial violence that occurred in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921. During this incident, a white mob attacked the prosperous Black neighborhood known as Greenwood, also called "Black Wall Street," resulting in extensive destruction, loss of life, and displacement of Black residents. The commission aimed to uncover the causes, document the events, and promote healing and justice. Its work helps provide a clearer historical record, acknowledge the tragedy, and support efforts toward racial reconciliation and understanding.
