A forensic anthropologist believes investigators are a step closer to identifying victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre with the discovery of 19 surnames possibly connected to remains excavated from a Tulsa cemetery.
Although the six bodies associated with the names are not confirmed massacre victims, nor do they show signs of trauma such as gunshot wounds, identifying them would provide a possible roadmap to the most likely areas of the cemetery to search for victims, according to Phoebe Stubblefield.
Investigators could “maybe get the pattern of how people were buried in that cemetery. By that I mean burials for January, burials for February, burials for March, and we’re moving toward June” when massacre victims were buried, said Stubblefield. “We can find a greater concentration of probable victims.” May 31 and June 1, 1921, when a white mob descended on Greenwood — the Black section of Tulsa.

Scientist: Progress in identifying Tulsa massacre victimsA forensic anthropologist believes investigators are a step closer to identifying victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre with the discovery of 19 surnames possibly connected to remains excavated from a Tulsa cemetery. Phoebe Stubblefield says although though the six bodies associated with the names are not confirmed massacre victims or or show signs of being victims, the link provides a possible roadmap to the most likely areas of the cemetery to search for victims. She says it could show researchers when the bodies were buried and lead to the area where bodies were buried at the time of the massacre when a white mob killed an estimated hundreds of Black people.
