SRES 230 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution recognizing the 102nd anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

This resolution (SRES 230) symbolically recognizes the 102nd anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, a violent attack by a White mob that killed an estimated 300 Black residents and destroyed the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma - a thriving Black business community known as "Black Wall Street." It honors the victims and survivors, condemns the historical and ongoing legacy of racial violence, and encourages U.S. schools and universities to include education about the massacre in curricula. As a non-binding resolution, it does not enact new laws or policies but serves as a formal acknowledgment by the Senate of this pivotal event in American history.
