Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division called the massacre 'a civil rights crime unique in its magnitude, barbarity, racist hostility and its utter annihilation of a thriving Black community.' This statement underscores the unprecedented nature of the violence and its devastating impact on the Black residents of Tulsa.
'Until this day, the Justice Department has not spoken publicly about this race massacre or officially accounted for the horrific events that transpired in Tulsa,' she said. 'This report breaks that silence by rigorous examination and a full accounting of one of the darkest episodes of our nation's past.' This acknowledgment marks a significant step in addressing historical injustices.
