Justice denied: Judge dismisses Tulsa Race Massacre lawsuit
Tulsa County District Judge Caroline Wall has dismissed the lawsuit seeking justice for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

According to court filings posted on Friday, Tulsa County District Judge Caroline Wall granted City of Tulsa attorneys’ motion to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning the case can’t be refiled.
“Upon hearing the arguments of counsel and considering the briefs filed by counsel for plaintiffs and counsel for defendants the court respectfully finds and order the plaintiffs’ second amended petition should and shall be dismissed with prejudice,” Judge Wall wrote.

The stinging defeat for survivors of one of the most violent racial domestic terrorist attacks against the wealthiest Black community in U.S. history reverberates across Black America. Many were hopeful that a win in Tulsa would set a precedent for other communities harmed by white supremacy.
I’ve been following this closely. This is a huge loss but it’s expected. This would have opened the door for other lawsuits across the country for reparations.
