President Biden memorializes the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre and announces new actions to reduce the racial wealth gap
President Joe Biden on Tuesday used stark language as he mourned one of the worst acts of racial violence in US history and marked the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. During an afternoon speech, the President announced a series of new actions his administration is taking to reduce the racial wealth gap. As he memorialized the hundreds of Black Americans who were killed by a White mob that had attacked their neighborhood and burned dozens of city blocks to the ground, Biden outlined his administration's efforts to combat racial inequality in the nation. The new efforts touch on a range of issues, including wealth inequality, racial discrimination in housing and voting rights. | | | | | | | | |
