Essex Files: Tulsa’s Race Massacre Fund Is Misguided - Let’s Fix What’s Broken Now
Share and Follow


Tulsa’s new mayor, Monroe Nichols, wants to create a $100 million trust to “repair” the legacy of the 1921 Race Massacre. Sounds noble, right? Except when you dig into the details, it becomes just another feel-good project funneling millions into development schemes and so-called “equity” programs that don’t fix the problems hurting real people today — Black, white, or otherwise.

Let’s be honest about what happened in Tulsa. In 1921, a Black neighborhood called Greenwood — known as Black Wall Street — was burned to the ground by a white mob. It was an ugly, violent chapter in American history. Over 1,000 homes and businesses were destroyed. Hundreds were killed. And yes, many of the people who looked the other way or cheered on the destruction were Democrats — the same party that created Jim Crow, resisted civil rights, and now pretends to be the savior of minority communities. The truth matters, even if the media conveniently forgets it.

But here’s the thing: Trying to fix that evil with vague, feel-good initiatives today won’t make anyone’s life better — not unless the money is spent on what actually matters. Want to honor the memory of Greenwood? Start by fixing the broken schools in Tulsa. Test scores are in the gutter, and kids — especially Black kids — are being left behind. How about using that $100 million to make sure every student can read, write, and graduate ready to compete? That would be real repair. While Tulsa Public Schools have reported a five-point improvement in student test scores, challenges remain, especially in middle schools. Investing in education ensures that all students, regardless of background, have the tools to succeed. Because Oklahoma Superintendent of Schools Ryan Walters can’t fix everything that’s bad about the Tulsa independent school district by himself.
