The last two remaining survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre are asking the Oklahoma Supreme Court to reconsider the case they dismissed last month.

FILE - Tulsa Race Massacre survivor Viola Ford Fletcher gestures while speaking during an interview with The Associated Press, June 16, 2023, in New York. Attorneys for Fletcher and Lessie Benningfield Randle, the last two remaining survivors of the massacre, asked the Oklahoma Supreme court Tuesday, July 2, 2024, to reconsider the case they dismissed last month and called on the Biden administration to help the two women seek justice.

“And despite these obvious crimes against humanity, not one indictment was issued, most insurance claims remain unpaid or were paid for only pennies on the dollar, and Black Tulsans were forced to leave their homes and live in fear.”
