"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 Caroline Wall wrote
in court records posted Friday evening.

The public nuisance lawsuit – filed on behalf of survivors Viola Ford
Fletcher (109), Lessie Benningfield Randle (108), and Hughes Van Ellis
(102) – sought accountability and damages from the City of Tulsa, Tulsa
County, the Tulsa Regional Chamber, and other defendants for harms
inflicted during the infamous 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

The three defendants were children when their community was burned down
and hundreds of Black residents were murdered by a violent white mob,
which included law enforcement officers and deputized civilians.
Firebombs were dropped on the Greenwood neighborhood – known as Black
Wall Street – from World War I-issue planes, reducing the flourishing
community to rubble.

Culpable people and institutions sought to cover up the evidence of
their killing spree by destroying police records and burying bodies in
unmarked mass graves.

To this day, Black Tulsans continue to experience worse wealth,
employment, education, housing, and health outcomes than white
residents, on top of the threats of predatory policing and mass
incarceration.

Tulsa Race Massacre lawsuit survived several prior attempts at dismissal
The case initially filed in 2020 sought restitution for survivors and
descendants for the ongoing impacts of the massacre on Tulsa's Black
community. The lawsuit, which outlasted several attempts at dismissal,
was later restricted to the living survivors.

Joe Biden traveled to Tulsa and met with Fletcher, Randle, and Ellis on
the 100th anniversary of the massacre in 2021, becoming the first
sitting US president ever to do so. Despite that acknowledgment, the
survivors have never received compensation from the federal, state, or
local government for the horrors they have endured.

Just one day before Judge Wall's decision was released, Oklahoma
Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters came under fire for
saying educators should not teach that the Tulsa Race Massacre was about
race.

After more than a century of gaslighting and denial, Fletcher, Randle,
and Ellis have been fighting to finally have their day in court.

What a bullshit article. These people have not been fighting for "more
than a century". They haven't been alive that long and they are twice
removed from those involved. They are freeloaders trying to game the
system through the courts.
