The Justice Department's historic review of the Tulsa Race Massacre will analyze the incident against modern civil rights laws, aiming for justice for historically ignored victims.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke acknowledged that while the review is significant, the potential for criminal prosecution is limited due to the long passage of time and expired statutes.
The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre saw White mobs, in a devastating act of racial violence, kill hundreds of Black residents and destroy the prosperous Greenwood community.
Even though the massacre has been historically examined, it is only now being reviewed by the Justice Department, examining documents and witness accounts for potential insights.
