Sen. George Young (D-Oklahoma City)
The Oklahoma Senate adopted on Wednesday a four-page resolution commemorating the centennial of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
Senate Resolution 24 was introduced by Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat.
"I think it’s an important truth that we as Oklahoma leaders need to acknowledge and teach so we don’t repeat history," Treat said.
The resolution also applauds the race massacre centennial commission for demonstrating unity and encourages Oklahomans to visit the Greenwood District.
Sen. George Young (D-Oklahoma City) was critical of the resolution, however, saying it is very different from an eight-page version offered in the House by the Legislative Black Caucus, which he is a member of.
