"America cannot fulfill its founding promise of equal justice for all without meaningful accountability for those who violate that equal justice. Acknowledgement, reparations for the victims and their families, and an apology for Tulsa would be the basic, necessary steps towards justice."
Viola Fletcher carried the truth of Tulsa—what was taken, destroyed, and never reconciled.
In today’s edition of Let’s Address This, I reflect on her legacy and the stark connection between the disinformation and violence that was used to spread hate back then, to how it’s still employed today.

I can't help wondering whether it might prefer to see investment in society and infrastructure to aid growth, and taxes on the rich to bring dormant money back into circulation.
I'm not convinced continued failure is the reassurance they're after.
