Hundreds of Black gun owners marched on “Black Wall Street” in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this weekend chanting “Black power!” and carrying signs demanding reparations for the massacre that occurred in the city 100 years ago. In 1921, white mobs killed as many as 300 Black Americans in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa and leveled the affluent, 35-block center for Black commerce and entrepreneurship. More than 1,000 homes and businesses, built from the ground up by the city’s segregated population, were looted and burned down.
