The first-ever U.S. Justice Department review of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre concluded Friday that while federal prosecution may have been possible a century ago there is no longer an avenue to bring a criminal case more than 100 years after one of the worst racial attacks in U.

The deadly 1921 rampage was a coordinated, military-style effort to destroy a prosperous Black neighborhood, a new report says.

The Justice Department’s conclusion follows an investigation of the 1921 atrocity in Oklahoma in which up to 300 Black residents were killed.

Some law enforcement members participated in arson and murders that occurred during the 1921 race massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma, according to a U.S. Department of Justice report released Friday.

A new federal review finds the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was the result of systematic, racially motivated violence targeting Black residents of the city’s Greenwood District.

The Department of Justice found in a newly released report that though the Tulsa Race Massacre was a “systematic” and “coordinated” attack that transcended mere mob violence, any legal repercussions are no longer possible in light of the statute of limitations.

On Friday, the Department of Justice issued a report on the Tulsa Race Massacre, outlining its finding and evaluation of the massacre undertaken in accordance with the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act.

The Justice Department in a report released Friday concluded "no avenue for prosecution exists" for the crimes carried out during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the deadliest series of murders in U.
