The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre is considered one of the worst single acts of violence against Black people in U.S. history.

The review was launched under a federal cold-case initiative that has led to prosecutions of some Civil Rights Era cases.

As many as 300 Black people were killed; more than 1,200 homes, businesses, schools and churches were destroyed.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court in June dismissed a lawsuit by survivors.
