Tulsa’s first Black mayor, Monroe Nichols IV, has proposed a $100 million private trust as part of a reparations plan for the descendants of those affected by the Tulsa Race Massacre over a century ago. The trust aims to provide scholarships and housing rather than direct cash payments, with a focus on revitalizing the city’s north side and improving local buildings. Nichols emphasizes the long-term economic loss from the massacre and the need for substantial restoration efforts, aligning his initiative with broader national discussions on reparations for Black Americans.
