Tulsa race massacre: 14 bodies to be re-exhumed in effort to identify victims

New exhumations will be followed by new search for bodies in Oklahoma cemetery linked to 1921 atrocity

Some of 19 bodies previously exhumed for testing in an effort to identify victims of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre and then reburied in an Oklahoma cemetery will be exhumed again starting on Wednesday, to gather more DNA.

None of the remains recovered thus far have been confirmed as victims of the massacre, in which more than 1,000 homes were burned, hundreds were looted and a thriving business district known as Black Wall Street was destroyed.
