Summary
Almost a century after a White mob destroyed the Black section of town, Tulsa's racial divide persists.Until recently, the memory of what happened in Tulsa's Greenwood neighborhood had been buried with its victims. The local police joined the mob, as did National Guard troops, who attacked what one guard officer reportedly called "the enemy." Many of the dead were then dumped into unmarked graves.When 60 Minutes producer Nicole Young and correspondent Scott Pelley set out to tell the story of the Greenwood massacre for this week's broadcast, they visited the Vernon AME Church. There's still a railroad track dividing both sides of the town and a highway that was built in the '60s right through Greenwood."After Floyd's death on Memorial Day—the same week the Tulsa race massacre occurred 99 years ago—the Rev. Robert Turner of Vernon AME church led a protest through Tulsa to remember Black Americans who have been killed.
