Massacre’s dead remain lost

-

A team works at an excavation site Tuesday at Oaklawn Cemetery in Tulsa in search of a potential unmarked mass grave from the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. No signs of victims’ remains have been found, state archaeolog­ist Kary Stackelbec­k said. White residents looted and burned Tulsa’s black Greenwood district in 1921, killing as many as 300 people. Many are believed buried in mass graves.
