Search Begins for Mass Graves from 1921 Race Massacre in Tulsa
--------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Oklahoma, archaeologists and forensic anthropologists have
begun digging up part of a Tulsa cemetery looking for mass graves nearly
a century after one of the worst massacres of African Americans in U.S.
history. In June 1921, a white mob burned to the ground Tulsa's affluent
African American neighborhood of Greenwood, known as Black Wall Street,
killing at least 300 residents.
