Biden to commemorate the centenary of the Tulsa Race Massacre

US PRESIDENT Joe Biden is set to visit the scene of the Tulsa race massacre in Oklahoma tomorrow as the victims’ descendants continue the fight for justice.
Full details of Mr Biden’s trip to mark the centenary had not been released by the White House today, but it was understood that he will use the occasion to press others to recognise the massacre.
As many as 300 people were killed in the pogrom that took place between May 31 and June 1 1921 when mobs of white people, many of them armed with weapons supplied by city officials, descended on Tulsa’s Greenwood district — known as “the black Wall Street.”
