Investigation into 1921 Greenwood Race Massacre Uncovers Another 17 Bodies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, investigators searching for victims of the 1921
Greenwood Massacre have discovered another 17 bodies, buried in a mass
grave in a local cemetery. It is believed 300 African Americans were
killed and 1,000 injured when a white mob descended upon and destroyed
the Black neighborhood known as "Black Wall Street." None of the white
supremacists were ever arrested in connection with the violence, which
included aerial bombardment with dynamite and incendiaries on the
35-block community.
