Biden honors forgotten victims of Tulsa massacre

President Joe Biden Tuesday led a remembrance of one of the nation's darkest moments of racial violence, marking the 100th anniversary of the destruction of a thriving Black community in Tulsa. Biden helped commemorate the deaths of hundreds of Black people killed by a white mob a century ago. Biden is the first president to participate in remembrances of the destruction of what was known as "Black Wall Street," in 1921.

Biden said, "The events that we speak of today took place 100 years ago and yet, I'm the first president ever to come to Tulsa," to mark the massacre. The president, joined by three top Black advisers, met privately with three surviving members of the Greenwood community who lived through the violence.
