Reparations Lawsuit for Tulsa Race Massacre Dismissed by Judge

An Oklahoma judge has dismissed a reparations lawsuit filed by the last known survivors of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. The plaintiffs, aged 102 to 109, sought relief for the ongoing damages caused by the white supremacist attack on the Greenwood District. They argued that others have benefited from the exploitation of the massacre while they have not recovered for unjust enrichment. The City of Tulsa requested the lawsuit be dismissed, and the judge sided with the city, stating that being connected to a historical event does not grant unlimited rights to seek compensation. The case has been dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.
