19 bodies involved with Tulsa Race Massacre to be reinterred during private ceremony

(AP) – City officials say the remains of 19 bodies that were exhumed as part of the city’s search for unmarked burials from Tulsa’s 1921 Race Massacre will be reinterred during a private ceremony. Oaklawn Cemetery will be closed Wednesday through Friday due to the ceremony on Friday. Tulsa World reports the bodies were exhumed in June and examined at an on-site laboratory by forensic anthropologist Phoebe Stubblefield, whose findings have not been made public. Efforts to identify the remains through records and possibly DNA are ongoing.
