Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre | HISTORY Channel 100 years following the massacre in Tulsa, Blacks in America are still trying to gain Reparations for a litany of such atrocities, and they are still wrestling with the question of how to stop the bloody brutality that our people are still receiving at the hands of the police departments of America.

On May 28-30, 2021, the National Black Power Convention will take place in Tulsa, OK to commemorate the Black Wall Street Massacre.  National Black leaders and organizations from all over America will be speaking and attending over the three days.
