The NYTimes coverage of all the documentaries that were produced due to the efforts of the 2021 Massacre Centennial Commission pointed out that the one story missing was not a single voice of a descendent of the invading KKK army has been produced to help explain the motivations of the racist mob outside of the obvious. The pastor who spoke is noted here as the first to have spoken up. Why is there no effort to locate white descendants or survivors and get their oral history? Kudos to Nehemiah Frank for listing the KKK leadership of Tulsa at the time. No wonder the insurance companies didn’t pay they were KKK.

How can we go about identifying the decedents of the KKK who perpetrated this? And who gained from the thefts of cash,, goods and assets? As the Times said, where are those voices?
