US EditionTulsa Mayor Proposes $100M Trust to Aid Descendants of 1921 Race Massacre
- On June 1, 2025, Monroe Nichols, Tulsa's first Black mayor, unveiled a plan at the Greenwood Cultural Center to establish a $100 million fund aimed at supporting the descendants of those affected by the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
- This proposal follows decades of unmet demands for reparations after the massacre, including a rejected 2024 lawsuit by survivors and ongoing political challenges surrounding cash payments.
- The plan focuses on scholarships and housing aid, with about $60 million earmarked to revitalize North Tulsa, the district devastated by the 1921 white mob attack that killed up to 300 Black residents.
- Nichols described the initiative as a politically neutral 'road to repair' and noted most funding is expected by June 1, 2026, without requiring city council approval except to transfer city property.
- This city-backed trust represents a major step toward acknowledging Tulsa’s history and joins other reparations efforts nationwide, despite the absence of direct payments to survivors or descendants.
