Some of the 19 bodies exhumed from a cemetery in the US city of Tulsa, Oklahoma are set to be removed again as authorities seek to identify the victims of a deadly 1921 riot in an area once known as “Black Wall Street”.

The latest exhumations of bodies, some of which were taken last year from Oaklawn Cemetery, will be followed by another excavation for additional remains.
