A Tulsa-based nonprofit says it's gifting $100,000 to each of the known living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The Justice for Greenwood Foundation announced the gifts for Hughes Van Ellis Sr., Lessie Benningfield Randle and Viola Fletcher. The three centenarians have been a focal point of much of the activities over the last couple of weeks commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the attack by a white mob on the thriving Black district. All three also are plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the City of Tulsa and other defendants seeking reparations for the destruction and lost wealth of its residents and their descendants.
So we want to hear from you: Should reparations be paid to all African American descendants of slavery?
