YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Joe Biden headed to Tulsa on Tuesday to mark the 100th anniversary of a White mob’s destruction of the city’s once-thriving Black business district, where he’ll announce new efforts to address the nation’s racial wealth gap.
Biden will deliver remarks on the centennial of the Tulsa race massacre at about 4:15 p.m. New York time from the Greenwood Cultural Center, which commemorates a neighborhood that was once so prosperous it was known as “Black Wall Street.”
Biden has sought to make racial equity a centerpiece of his presidency and to combat systemic racism in U.S. society. His efforts contrast with Republican lawmakers in states, predominantly in the South, who have recently passed laws prohibiting schools from teaching that racism is embedded in U.S. culture, as well as new election laws that Democrats say would make it more difficult for Black and other minority voters to cast ballots.
During his trip, Biden will announce measures to increase the number of federal contracts awarded to small, disadvantaged businesses. The president will meet privately with surviving members of one of the worst incidences of racial violence in American history.
It’s unknown how many people were killed in the 1921 massacre, though estimates range as high as 300. The city of Tulsa said it would begin exhuming a suspected mass grave dating to the massacre.
