One hundred years since the Tulsa massacre. Politicians gave speeches, networks ran specials, hashtags trended. And yet: how much has actually changed?
Communities destroyed then were never rebuilt. Generational wealth stolen never returned. The same systemic rot that allowed white mobs to torch Black businesses in 1921 lives on in redlined neighborhoods, voter suppression, and criminal justice “disparities.”
America loves anniversaries. It’s less fond of repair.
