105 years after the Tulsa Race Massacre, community members gathered at Standpipe Hill to collect soil honoring victims and survivors whose lives were stolen or forever changed. The bloodshed that destroyed Black Wall Street was not just history, it was a devastating attack on Black prosperity. We honor the victims by refusing to let the truth be forgotten.
