Tulsa’s new mayor on Tuesday backed doing more for victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and their descendants but stopped short of saying how he believes the city should further address one of the worst racial attacks in U.S. history.
Monroe Nichols, who in November was elected the first Black mayor of Oklahoma's second-largest city, said in a statement he supports “significant elements” of a broad proposal dubbed Project Greenwood, named for the city's once-thriving Black district that was destroyed by a white mob.
