(AP) – At least 10 bodies were found Wednesday in an unmarked mass grave at a Tulsa cemetery where investigators are searching for the remains of victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, Oklahoma’s state archaeologist said. This constitutes a mass grave,” state archaeologist Kary Stackelbeck said. Stackelbeck said it was too early to say definitely that the remains are victims of the massacre, even though they were found near an area known as the “Original 18,” where funeral home records indicate massacre victims were buried. There are two headstones in the Original 18 marking the graves of two massacre victims, but the area where the remains were found Wednesday is unmarked. “We have not yet made our assessment to say that these do actually represent the massacre victims,” Stackelbeck said.

Here's how the massacre, also known as the Tulsa Race Riot, unfolded. Page worked as an elevator operator and Rowland would use the elevator almost every day. While Page never pressed charges, authorities did, and by the end of the day the rumor was that Page had been raped. In fact, newspapers didn't even print any information about the Tulsa Race Riot," US Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma told CNN affiliate KFOR in 2018. Oklahoma leaders announced in February that the state would move forward with embedding the story of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre into the curriculum of all Oklahoma schools.
