He claimed that the law and order approach, the critics say, has not addressed the concerns of the peaceful protesters.

Some Tulsa residents say The President 's visit to Greenwood would be disrespectful, and increase The Risk of the spread of the coronavirus within a vulnerable community. Statistics show that the number of fatalities among African-Americans is disproportionately higher than for White People .

"We Are very concerned about all these people in our state than to visit as a group in our community, the Greenwood Cultural Center. This is how you directly to Our House ," Says TheRese Adunis, whose grandparents survived the Tulsa race massacre and whose father was born a few months later.

"As we come to the 100-year anniversary of The Massacre , Greenwood is stop a hot tourist now. Our city and our state want to promote, but it's like, you want to make money and you want to be known for our misery, but you don't care about our lives," she Says .

President Trump had planned to take his campaign Rally on Juneteenth but postponed it by A Day after local protests.

"It is an opportunity to the history of Greenwood and The Massacre for his own benefit," Says Mr. Solomon Simmons. "This is what we see in the whole city of powerful people, and the favor of the story push their agenda and give cover to their gentrification efforts. "

According to the 1921 massacre, Greenwood residents back to their community, without help or money from The State . For a while flowered, but never fully recovered and eventually rejected.
