On Tuesday, the OKC City Council voted on a resolution recognizing and condemning the tragedy. City council members voted unanimously for that resolution, saying they wanted to acknowledge and condemn that massacre that happened in 1921.

"During a 24-hour period, the white mob's violence led to the deaths of an estimated 300 Black residents and over 800 reports of injuries," Councilwoman Nikki Nice said.

The Tulsa Race Massacre is a dark and painful part of Oklahoma history that's now acknowledged and condemned by the entire OKC City Council.

Nice and Councilman James Cooper, as well as mayoral advisor J.D. Baker, crafted the resolution acknowledging the 1921 Tusla Race Massacre as a tragic part of history that, for the most part, has been ignored.

"It speaks to where we're moving and how we're moving as a city and state in relation to understanding, recognizing and reckoning with what has happened to Black folks," Nice said.

Nice also said the resolution is about understanding what took place not only in Tulsa's Greenwood District but in Oklahoma City's Deep Deuce, where a Black man was lynched.

"Claud Chalder, who was taken from our Oklahoma City county jail and lynched on 10th and Council. So, it talks about the correlation of the trauma that's taken place for African Americans in our state," Nice said.

State Rep. Jason Lowe, who was part of the Oklahoma Black Caucus's virtual event Tuesday night, remembers the victims and honors the survivors.

"We're going to be discussing the massacre. The survivors are going to speak," said Lowe, D-Oklahoma City.

Lowe also said the OKC City Council's resolution is another step toward healing.
