The Tulsa City Council unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday night acknowledging and apologizing for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
It also says they and the mayor will establish a community-led process by the end of the year to look at various proposals for reconciliation, including those from a state commission 20 years ago that call for reparations. Still, the council made it clear reparations are not part of the resolution.
More than two dozen people at the council meeting to comment on the resolution were overwhelmingly in support of reparations and had the support of the Rev. Jesse Jackson; former Asheville, North Carolina Councilman Keith Young, the architect of that city s reparations plan; and Evanston, Illinois, Alderman Robin Rue Simmons, who led the charge in her city approving a first-in-the-nation reparations plan.
