CNN
One hundred years and a day after one of the country's bloodiest massacres of the 20th Century, the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday will begin exhuming bodies possibly linked to the crimes.
The efforts to retrieve at least a dozen sets of remains -- which experts believe may belong to victims of the 1921 massacre on the city's Black Wall Street -- commences a day after a long Memorial Day weekend of events remembering the dark episode and honoring its victims. On Tuesday morning, experts led in part by the Oklahoma Archaeological Survey will begin mapping and prepping the site located in Oaklawn Cemetery, near the headstones of massacre victims Eddie Lockard and Reuben Everett.More Related News
