AI Summary
This Resolution recognizes the upcoming 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, an event where a mob of White men, fueled by White supremacy and resentment over Black economic success in Tulsa's Greenwood District, known as "Black Wall Street," attacked and destroyed the thriving Black community. The resolution details how municipal and county authorities failed to intervene, even deputizing some perpetrators, leading to the deaths of an estimated 300 Black residents, widespread injuries, and the destruction of homes, businesses, and community structures, leaving thousands homeless and erasing significant Black wealth. It highlights the subsequent suppression of the event's memory by Oklahoma governments, the eventual study by a commission that confirmed the extent of the massacre and the lack of accountability for those involved, and the ongoing legacy of racial disparities. The resolution, therefore, calls for condemning this domestic terror, rejecting White supremacy, promoting tolerance and unity, celebrating diversity, reflecting on the nation's imperfect journey towards a more perfect union, and acknowledging Congress's commitment to learning from this history of racism and fighting for racial justice.
