Tulsa massacre 100 years later: Hundreds gather at historic church's prayer wall

Tulsa massacre 100 years later
A somber ceremony took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Monday to mark the centennial of one of the darkest days in U.S. history: the beginning of the Tulsa race massacre.
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Hundreds gathered Monday for an interfaith service dedicating a prayer wall outside historic Vernon African Methodist Episcopal Church in Tulsa's Greenwood neighborhood on the centennial of the first day of one of the deadliest racist massacres in the nation.
National civil rights leaders, including the Revs. Jesse Jackson and William Barber, joined multiple local faith leaders offering prayers and remarks outside the church that was under construction and largely destroyed when a white mob descended on the prosperous Black neighborhood in 1921, burning, killing, looting and leveling a 35-square-block area. Estimates of the death toll range from dozens to 300.
