The search for possible mass graves from the Tulsa race massacre began Monday, nearly a century after hundreds of Black people were brutally killed by White rioters who burned and looted their community

It was put on hold in March because of the coronavirus pandemic."Our work continues to find the graves of our fellow Tulsans who went missing during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
99 years ago, America was shaken by one of its deadliest acts of racial violenceHistoric accounts say the violence was sparked by a confrontation between a Black resident and a White man who was part of a group of angry White residents demanding the lynching of a young Black man. A conflict between the two men resulted in a struggle over the White man's gun. Ultimately, the White man was shot, and a White mob began to storm the neighborhood.
