The city of Tulsa, Oklahoma is haunted by a past that remains unresolved - The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921.  The Oklahoma State Legislature authorized a commission in 1997 to research this devastating event. After 3 1/2 years of research during which the Commission examined over 20,000  pages of documentation, the Commission delivered their report to the Governor, the State Legislature, the Mayor of Tulsa and the Tulsa City Council.   The commission recommended five specific reparations to the Greenwood community, the living survivors and their descendants.
