Justice for Greenwood

Justice for Greenwood refers to ongoing efforts to address the injustices experienced by the Greenwood community, particularly following the 1921 massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when a prosperous Black neighborhood was destroyed by violent mobs. It involves seeking acknowledgment of the harm, accountability for perpetrators, reparations, and measures to promote racial equity. These initiatives aim to acknowledge historical wrongs, provide reparative justice, and foster healing for survivors, descendants, and the broader community, ensuring that the traumatic legacy of Greenwood is recognized and that steps are taken to prevent similar injustices in the future.
