This week on Law & Legal with CK Hoffler on, OPWJS Juandolyn and Hoffler discussed the Tulsa bombing at the hands of angry white citizens, the police department, city officials and the Klu Klux Klan in 1921 that destroyed a thriving Black community, Greenwood and its Black Wall Street. Hoffler highlighted the differences between restitution and reparations, neither of which are new concepts.
She also spoke about a 2003 lawsuit she was involved in against the Tulsa Police Department, the city, and the state of Oklahoma on behalf of the Black citizens descendants. The case was ultimately dismissed under statute of limitations because at that time, it had been 80 years since the events took place.
