 Last known survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre now asking the U.S. Justice Department to launch a new investigation after a recent setback. 109-year-old Leslie Benningfield Randall and 110-year-old Viola Fletcher sued Tulsa, trying to force the city to pay reparations for the destruction of the once-thriving black district during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. That's when a white mob, some of whom were deputized by the city, burned down the district, killing as many as 300 people.
