Dismissal of Tulsa Reparations Case Leaves Survivors Seeking Justice

TL;DR Summary
A court has dismissed a case seeking reparations for the victims and descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, in which a white mob attacked and destroyed the prosperous Black neighborhood of Greenwood. The lawsuit argued that the city of Tulsa and other defendants should compensate for the damages caused during the massacre. However, the court ruled that the case was filed too late, as the statute of limitations had expired, and that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that the defendants' actions violated the Constitution.
