Let’s Begin…
In 1921, a white mob destroyed an American neighborhood called “Black Wall Street,” murdering an estimated 300 people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. That incident — known as the Tulsa Race Massacre — has been largely left out of US history books. Today, the city still has a lot of questions. For one, where are the bodies of the victims? Vox takes a look at what happened 100 years ago.

i think if we want justice we can wait a little bit or wait for long, because the justice will comes and they will get what they deserve, sadly this was one of the situations that makes the change on the history, so, i think the descendants are happy because for better or for worst they live free and safe because of them and many others
I agree, for me the justice is the act of find the truth regardless time of the injustice. I think they want to find the bodies of their relatives, expose the truth and hope that never happened again.
I think that phrase means, that doesn't matter how long or how many years ago was that massacre, the sin still there and I think the only justice people are looking for is that the government don't cover up this big massacre and give honor to the victims who died that day. I think that is the least thing that the government can do for this poor people.
I believe that true justice is that those victims of that massacre are honored and respected. The people with the mentioned phrase mean that even though many years pass, the wound will continue if the government continues as if nothing had happened.
I believe that true justice will come the day when the government stopped covering up what happened and began to pay tribute to the people who died that day, and regarding the phrase, I think it means that no matter how much time passes , time does not forgive the sins that people committed even if 1000 years pass.
I think the same way, because the victims still do not know anything about their murdered descendants, even though many years have passed. I believe that the victims have not had justice.
I think that I'm in agreed about the justice, the people of Tusla need to find the bodies, they need it to give them a rest of suffering, make justice, all of us need that because it help to others, no more injustice in this world, no more.
One of the interviewees of this video stated: “Injustice plus time does not equal justice.” and I agree. I believe the victims deserve justice in the form of (financial) reparations. When someone is truely wrong for an act or behavior it is solidified by a correction in behavior. (Financial reimbursement is also appropriate for any hurt/harm caused.)
I 100% agree
I agree injustice and time is not equivalent to real justice. I think what the justice the descendants should have got is rebuilding and money for free.
