One hundred years later, the Tulsa massacre is still an open wound. But maybe it had a happy ending

NEW YORK – A hundred years late, America is preparing to deal with one of the darkest episodes of its bloody history: the Tulsa massacre where at least 300 African Americans were murdered (but the exact number was never established), which took place in night between May 31 and June 1, 1921. That too long forgotten massacre – historians only began to talk about it in 1997 – will be officially remembered and for the first time tomorrow, with the visit of the president Joe Biden and his wife Jill in the town of Oklahoma considered today one of the poorest states in America.
