At least 10 bodies have been found in an unmarked mass grave during a search at a Tulsa cemetery for the remains of victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre

At least 10 bodies were found Wednesday in an unmarked mass grave at a Tulsa cemetery where investigators are searching for the remains of victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, Oklahoma’s state archaeologist said.

Investigators found 10 wooden coffins containing what was initially presumed to be one person in each, Stackelbeck said. She said further examination of the coffins and remains, which have not been removed, was needed. University of Florida forensic anthropologist Phoebe Stubblefield, a descendent of a massacre survivor who is assisting in the search, said patience is needed before anyone can expect to know the identities of the remains or the cause of deaths.

Stackelbeck said it was too early to say that the remains are massacre victims, even though they were found near an area known as the Original 18, where funeral home records indicate massacre victims were buried.There are two headstones in the Original 18 marking the graves of two massacre victims, but the area where the remains were found Wednesday is unmarked.

Remains found in Tulsa search for 1921 race massacre victimsInvestigators searching for remains of victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre have found at least 10 bodies in an unmarked mass grave, Oklahoma officials say. The 1921 massacre left an estimated 300 mostly Black Tulsa residents dead and 800 more wounded. This seems like something I should have learned about in school, but I know I didn’t. 300 dead? I think the toll much higher. So grateful we dont have a racist society like that anymore. Those colored Americans who were murdered would have been so proud to see this country elect a colored President. Times sure have changed
