Tulsa massacre survivor, residents push to boost Black community's prominence, a century after killings_我的网站

A |     More than 100 years after many of Tulsa's Black residents were killed and their businesses were destroyed by white rioters, the community, including a woman who survived the massacre, is still finding ways to rebuild and seek justice.Between May 31 and June 1, 1921, white Tulsa residents set fire and bombed several square blocks of the city, including Greenwood District, which was known as Black Wall Street because of its successful shops and businesses owned by Tulsa's Black residents.An estimated 300 Black residents were killed and thousands were left homeless after the Tulsa massacre, according to historians.Alicia Odewale, a professor of archeology at the University of Tulsa, is leading a project to dig up Greenwood's past and told GMA 3's DeMarco Morgan, a Tulsa native, that she's already made some shocking discoveries."We found bullets and barbed wire next to doll parts next to lined up toys, next to marbles," she said. "They tried to wipe out families and children.""The artifacts are bearing witness to things that we don't have in our history books," she added.Tiffany Crutcher, an activist, said she's been working to raise awareness of what happened and fight for justice. She has traveled to Congress with survivors and their families on multiple occasions to ensure that their stories are never forgotten."They sat there saying, 'We believe we deserve justice. We still believe in America,' even though they've been through the worst times," Crutcher said.In July, an Oklahoma judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by survivors and their families that sought reparations for the massacre. The decision has been appealed by the plaintiff's attorneys.After last week's passing of Hughes Van Ellis at 102, Lessie Benningfield "Mother" Randle, and Viola Fletcher, 109, are now the last of two living survivors.Lawanna Penny, Randle's granddaughter, said she promised her grandmother that even though the reparations suit has been dismissed, she and others wouldn't stop fighting for justice."I told her, 'We're not going anywhere,' she said. "We want to leave a legacy for her to build up North Tulsa, build it up back the way it used to be."Randle turns 109 next month and she told GMA 3 that she has one wish."I would like to see all of my people here…trying to make the situation better," she said. "Bring some of those things to life so people will know that it's really is true, because there's room for a lot more improvement."。    Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin landed in hot water after several short videos of her partying with friends were leaked online. Marin later confirmed the authenticity of the footage.,In the videos, the prime minister is seen at a private apartment alongside influencers, TV and radio hosts, and a member of parliament - Ilmari Nurminen. Marin is seen singing, dancing and hugging her friends.,However, journalists from Finnish newspaper Iltalehti claim to have heard Marin’s friends using the words "flour gang" in one of the videos, alleging referring to cocaine. Several lawmakers, including Riikka Purra, chair of the Finns Party, and Mikko Kärnä, member of the Centre Party, have harshly criticized Marin's behavior and demanded that she undergo a drug test.,"The people are also allowed to expect this from their prime minister," Kärnä wrote in his Twitter account.,The 36-year-old prime minister confirmed that the party took place, noting that it happened a "couple of weeks ago,” but expressed doubt that her friends shouted "flour gang.”,Marin also denied taking any drugs or even consuming alcohol in large volumes. However, she said that she did not mind sitting a drug test.,"I have danced, sung, celebrated, done legal things. I have nothing to hide. I haven't used any drugs, so it's not a problem to take a drug test, but I also think it's quite special that something like this is required. I didn't see any evidence that anything was used anywhere," the prime minister said.,Netizens' reactions were mixed in light of the leaked videos. While some were shocked or disgruntled by the behavior not typically seen in top politicians, others suggested that Marin might have won voters’ hearts by showing her human side.,Finland's PM Parties at Nightclub Until 4 AM After Contact With COVID-Positive Official6 December 2021, 16:37 GMT,This was not the first time that the Finnish prime minister has been caught partying with friends. In December 2021 during a coronavirus infections surge, she was slammed for partying a day after a member of her government tested positive for COVID-19.。
