Officials say the search for remains of victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre has turned up 21 additional graves in the city’s Oaklawn Cemetery.
“Forensic anthropologist Dr. Phoebe Stubblefield discovered that one of the three sets of remains exhumed last week contained one victim with a gunshot wound,” according to a statement late Friday from city spokesperson Carson Colvin. In an effort to eventually confirm the remains are those of massacre victims, investigators are seeking signs of trauma, such as gunshot wounds, based on accounts at the time.
A portion of the bullet was removed the the head of the remains, according to the statement. The person’s race and whether the remains are those of a massacre victim are not yet known.The remains were in a plain casket and are believed to be that of an adult male, matching information in reports from 1921, and were in the area in Oaklawn Cemetery where 18 massacre victims were reportedly buried.
notyafeminist Wow 😩
'America' was never a Christian nation. Founded on murder, lies, oppression & greed. Receipts: treatment of the elders, orphans, prisoners, foreigners & the poor. 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Hebrews
😔
¿How 'possible victim'? ¿If not 'possible victim', then the massacre did not happened ?
Haven't they been looking for these 'mass graves' for over twenty years? How exactly does one determine they died during the riot, and not say some other random crime? Especially something that happened over a hundred years ago in a city like Tulsa?
“The body of a second possible victim…” Doesn’t anyone speak English any more? Or does the victim have a second body?
