Authorities in Oklahoma have begun a dig to find the remains of victims of Tulsa's 1921 Race Massacre. A funeral home at the time recorded 18 black people who died, but some experts believe the number was closer to 300. Historians say mobs of white men attacked an area known as 'Black Wall Street', killing Black residents and destroying shopfronts, homes and churches.
