Mass Grave Discovered in Tulsa May Be Linked to 1921 Racist Massacre
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, archaeologists have found a mass grave containing at
least 10 coffins during a search for victims of 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. Investigators have not confirmed if the bodies found in the
unmarked grave are victims of the massacre.
