BOMBSHELL: Oklahoma Supreme Court Delivers Crushing Blow to Last Living Survivors of 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — In a devastating turn of events, the Oklahoma Supreme Court has denied a request to reconsider its decision to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the last two known living survivors of the infamous 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. This shocking move has left many stunned and wondering about the fate of the survivors' pursuit of justice, nearly a century after the horrific event that destroyed their community.

The lawsuit, which was initially filed by the two survivors, Lessie Benningfield Randle and Viola Fletcher, sought justice and reparations for the injustices they suffered during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The tragic event witnessed the destruction of the thriving Greenwood District, a predominantly African-American neighborhood that was once known as "Black Wall Street."

The Tulsa Race Massacre was a brutal and violent attack on the African-American community by white rioters, who descended upon the city, burning and looting homes, businesses, and buildings, leaving countless people dead, injured, or displaced. The survivors have long been advocating for acknowledgment and compensation for the suffering they endured, as well as the loss of their loved ones and livelihoods.

Earlier this year, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled to dismiss the lawsuit, citing that the case was filed too late and that the court did not have jurisdiction to hear the claims. However, the survivors' lawyers had argued that the lawsuit was filed on time and that the court should have recognized the unique circumstances surrounding the case, given the extraordinary nature of the trauma inflicted upon the survivors and their community.

Despite this setback, the survivors and their lawyers have vowed to continue fighting for justice and justice, with some indicating that they might take the case to the US Supreme Court. "We are extremely disappointed but not deterred," said a spokesperson for the survivors. "We will continue to explore all available options to ensure that the survivors receive the justice they so rightly deserve."

The decision of the Oklahoma Supreme Court has been met with widespread criticism and disappointment, with many arguing that the court failed to grasp the gravity and significance of the case. "This ruling is a travesty of justice," said a leading civil rights activist. "The court has turned its back on the survivors and their community, once again."

As the survivors continue their pursuit of justice, the Oklahoma Supreme Court's decision serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality in the United States. The case highlights the need for continued advocacy and activism to address the historical injustices faced by African-American communities and the importance of holding institutions accountable for their actions.

The story of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and its survivors is a powerful example of resilience and determination. Their fight for justice, even in the face of adversity, is an inspiration to us all, and a stark reminder that the pursuit of justice is a fundamental human right that must be protected and defended.
