The shooting deaths of white protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal officers in Minneapolis have followed a playbook that is painfully familiar to Black Americans.

There's been some progress in the relationship between the Tulsa police and the city's Black community in the 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre left as many as 300 Black people dead and thousands of Black residents displaced.

Tulsans working on events commemorating the 1921 Race Massacre say a dispute over monetary payments to survivors led to the cancellation of a headline event.

The family and representatives of Black men killed by the police have met at the White House with senators and Biden administration officials and say they left feeling optimistic.

Tens of thousands of Trump supporters are expected in Tulsa Saturday for the first of a series of rallies across the country to rev up his reelection campaign. Tulsa experienced several days of large protests after the death of black Minneapolis resident George Floyd May 25, but violence and damage were limited.

When black Tulsans showed up with guns to prevent the mans lynching, white Tulsa responded with overwhelming force. They take photos of themselves in front of the inscribed memorials to whats now called Black Wall Street. They raise a defiant fist in the air for other photos in front of a mural to Black Wall Street painted on the side of the overpass. Although expressing doubts about calls for reparations to Tulsa's African Americans, Bynum has supported the search for unmarked burials of victims of the massacre. Even preschoolers in some districts are being told about Black Wall Street not about how it ended, but what it was, said Danielle Neves, deputy chief of academics for Tulsa public schools.

Bynum, the first-term mayor of Tulsa, isn't celebrating Trumps planned rally Saturday at the citys 19,000-seat downtown BOK Center arena. Trump announced the rally in Tulsa as the kick-off a tour to rev up his political base and show the nation's economy reopening after the long quarantine. Meanwhile, many leaders in the city's black community have lashed out at Trump's visit as provocative after the death of black Minneapolis resident George Floyd and mass protests around the world. And thats never going to be satisfying for the people at the ideological extremes, and they tend to be noisy, said David Holt, the mayor of Oklahoma City and a friend of Bynum's. And the head of the Oklahoma Republican Party, David McLain, insisted the rally can be safe.
