Oklahoma identifies first victim in Tulsa race massacre mass grave

War veteran CL Daniel was in his 20s when he was killed in 1921, in one of deadliest acts of racist violence in US history

A veteran of the first world war has become the first person identified from graves filled with more than a hundred victims of the 1921 Tulsa massacre of the Oklahoma city's Black community, the mayor said on Friday.

Using DNA from descendants of his brothers, the remains of CL Daniel - from Georgia - were identified by Intermountain Forensics, said Mayor GT Bynum and lab officials. Daniel was in his 20s when he was killed.
