People attend a joint service for the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre at First Baptist Church of North Tulsa on May 30, 2021, in Tulsa, Okla. | John Locher/AP PhotoTULSA, Okla. — When white attackers destroyed the prosperous Black neighborhood of Greenwood 100 years ago this week, they bypassed the original sanctuary of the First Baptist Church of North Tulsa.
He said the centennial both honors the victims of the massacre and “celebrates the resilience and the resurgence of an amazing people of God.” “The main problem is that our nation is always trying to have reconciliation without doing justice,” Faison said. “Until repentance and repair are seen as inseparable, any attempt to reconcile will fail miserably.”
“We don’t want it ever to happen again anywhere,” said the Rev. Donna Jackson, an organizer of the recognition.Pastor Deron Spoo of First Baptist Church of Tulsa, a Southern Baptist church less than two miles from the similarly named North Tulsa church, told his congregation that the massacre has been “a scar” on the city.

Tulsa pastors honor 'holy ground' 100 years after massacreWhite attackers destroyed the prosperous Black neighborhood of Greenwood 100 years ago this week but bypassed the original sanctuary of the First Baptist Church of North Tulsa. They thought the brick veneer structure was too fine for a Black-owned church. OK became a State in 1907. Tulsa was founded in 1895. The idea that in 10-20 years a thriving Black Wall Street would exist is so far fetched since OK was hardly wealthy. Now that you know just how bad it can get for a black person in America is at an all time high because they don't feel like their getting what they have always gotten?a foot on the neck of one black man isn't enough to stop us now, and yes this is my car? Now the blacks destroy there own neighborhoods so have they learned?

100 years after Tulsa Race Massacre, Black mistrust remainsThere's been some progress in the relationship between the Tulsa police and the city's Black community in the 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre. The police chief is now a Black man from north Tulsa. But some mistrust remains. ‘Some progress’ doesn’t seem like something to celebrate after 100 years. America needs to do far far better Some mistrust? I think you may need to interview more people of color in that community to better analyze your statement. Putting a Black man in a leadership position of an inherently racist organization is not the progress they think it is.
