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.

The Tulsa Race Massacre, a historic example of domestic terrorism during which mobs of white men murdered and injured countless Black citizens and burned down Black-owned businesses in the city’s Greenwood District, has been little studied until recently. This month marks 100 years since the two-day riot, which has been described by contemporary historians as the “single worst incident of racial violence” in the US, and artists and institutions are recognising the event and its fallout through displays and projects.
