The U.S. Department of Justice has released a report on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, stating that the attack was 'systematic' and 'coordinated,' surpassing mere mob violence. The report highlights the direct involvement of law enforcement in the violence, arson, and looting that devastated the Black Wall Street community. However, the DOJ concluded that there is 'no avenue' for criminal prosecution related to the massacre, which occurred over a century ago, leaving the historical injustices unaddressed in a legal context.
