Community retraces route survivors fled from Tulsa Race Massacre

Oklahoman TULSA L. Joi McCondichie grew up hearing her grandmother tell the story of the horrific night she fled Greenwood 100 years ago. Tuesday, the Tulsan invited the community to walk the same route that took her grandmother, Eldoris Mae McCondichie, and other Black Wall Street residents to safety as they escaped the white mobs intent on killing them and burning down their homes and businesses in what became known as the Tulsa Race Massacre on May 31 and June 1, 1921. More than 100 people took part in L. Joi McCondichie s 5-mile Century Walk, retracing the survivors path by riding in golf carts or walking the route on foot. Along the way, they saw drawings of 27 survivors created by artist Udonna Wallace. She said she drew the survivors faces to help Century Walk participants connect with the humanity of the people who escaped into the woods to avoid becoming victims of mob violence.
