The plan, the first large-scale attempt to address the impact of the 1921 atrocity, will raise private funds for housing assistance, scholarships and economic development.

Tulsa’s new mayor on Sunday proposed a $100 million private trust as part of a reparations plan to give descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre scholarships and housing help.

As many as 300 people were killed and dozens of homes and businesses leveled in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, when a white mob razed the city’s prosperous Black neighborhood of Greenwood in north Tulsa. Today, north Tulsa is hampered by blight, poverty and racial inequality.
