White mobs destroyed "Black Wall Street." But where are the victims' bodies?
Become a Video Lab member! http://bit.ly/video-lab
Nearly 100 years ago, a white mob destroyed an American neighborhood called “Black Wall Street,” murdering an estimated 300 people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. That incident — known as the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre — has been largely left out of US history books. Today, a century later, the city still has a lot of questions. For one, where are the bodies of the victims? As the city's mayor re-opens the search for mass graves, we take a look at what happened back in 1921…and why finding these graves still matters to the people of Tulsa.

Why does it take a hundred years to make things right in America. The US formally apologized in 1993 to Hawaii for the illegal overthrow in 1893. A hundred years after the fact but never said nothing about the continuing illegal occupation.
This is just extremely sad. The white man brought the black people forcibly from their homes in Africa to enslave them. Yet then they blame them for infiltrating their society and want to eliminate them. This is not a race thing. This is pure human evil.
Can Vox please do a series on the injustice throughout American history on black and brown bodies? Then follow that series up with another one focusing on South America and African nations and how they have been mistreated but ultimately gained freedom
The states have alot more HORRIBLE secrets than I knew. I can sorta understand why American black people are so pissed off a little better. SORRY FOR NEGATING YOUR ANGER.
Honestly I don't care if this happened 2000 years ago or if it happened 2 weeks ago, history is history and history should never be forgetting because if it is we are doomed to repeat no matter if its good or bad.
Wow, the white race has done absolutely horrendous things.. so many things they didn't teach you in elementary school.. I was told Christopher Columbus was a hero.

Welcome to Human World ☠️
Why hasn't the KKK been listed as a formal terrorist organization?
The devil found a home in the white man.
I'm your number one you tube fan. Vox is just the best, they don't hide thing's under the carpet.

Please keep us updated!! If they start excavating, y'all should make a video on their progress and how the community is coping
Why they got these grimy witchy white girl narrating the documentary
Devils punch bowl basically?
Injustice plus time does not equal justice
Could take years, WELL GET ON IT.

This needs to be brought to the public's attention at every opportunity where Racism shows it's face…
“Injustice + Time does not = Justice”, that’s true but ignored
I'm not one to suspect things but i find it so hard to trust vox on anything
Some conspiracies are real, whoever has covered this up is sick and disgusting
Whites murdered 300 million native Americans on the western hemisphere. Yet we condemn Hitler for killing 20 million people. Perspective
"There was very fine people on both sides" – Donal Trump
Here in Oklahoma schools they are teaching us this event
Why the hell westerners keep using Mecca(our city's name).
Police didn't try to find mass graves at the time; they helped the cover up.

When there’s nothing good to watch, I watch Vox, because Vox is lit
Caucasians. Everywhere they go.
Yes this is awful, but what can be do today? Nothing, this was another times… Thanks for information
