TL;DR Summary

Survivors and attorneys of the Tulsa Race Massacre responded to the dismissal of their lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 event. The lawsuit was dismissed "with prejudice," meaning it cannot be refiled. The survivors plan to file an appeal with the Oklahoma Supreme Court. They also called on the Department of Justice and President Joe Biden to open a federal investigation into the massacre. The lawsuit aimed to address the ongoing effects of the event and the financial disparities it caused. The three survivors, who are over 100 years old, still experience trauma from the massacre.
