Transformation Church Pastor Michael Todd presented three survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre with $200,000 checks at an outdoor church service on June 20, a century after the deadly violence claimed hundreds of lives.
“It’s reparations season and change starts in the church,” Todd said before the congregation. Todd and his wife Natalie are Lead Pastors of Transformation Church based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Todd explained that he asked the team at the church to track down surviving members of the 1921 massacre.
“I told the team. I said ‘find me every living survivor that survived this massacre.’ And they begin to search. And I said though, the most devastating thing that was stolen from people where their homes,” Todd said.
