Abstract
The article focuses on the ongoing struggle for recognition and justice faced by the survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre, which occurred in May 1921 when white mobs destroyed the thriving Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Despite a lawsuit filed by the remaining survivors seeking acknowledgment of their trauma and damages, the Oklahoma Supreme Court recently dismissed the case, highlighting the persistent systemic racism in society. In response, a venture philanthropy organization, Business for Good, donated $1 million to a non-profit supporting the survivors' families, emphasizing the need for individuals in positions of power to actively contribute to social equity and community support. The article calls for a collective effort to address historical injustices and promote equality for future generations. [Extracted from the article]
