塔尔萨种族屠杀墓地调查本季收官 新发现47座无标记墓穴
塔尔萨市政府11月5日宣布，寻找1921年塔尔萨种族屠杀遇难者的墓地调查第六季野外工作已经结束，本季在奥克朗公墓新发现47座此前没有记录的墓穴，其中13座位于公墓围栏之外，12座埋在一处步行道下方。法医团队对出土遗骸逐一做X光检查，又确认2人带有枪伤，一人葬于棺木、一人葬于简易木箱，至此在奥克朗公墓发现的枪伤遇难者总数达到10人。本季有9名出土者符合调查标准，将送去做DNA分析；11名不符合标准的出土者已重新安葬回围栏内的原墓穴，其余18座围栏外墓穴的遗骸将在法医分析后另行安葬。调查自启动以来已记录300多处此前不为人知的埋葬点，并确认一名遇难者身份为C.L.丹尼尔。1921年塔尔萨种族屠杀中，格林伍德区的黑人社区遭白人暴徒袭击，死伤人数至今没有确切统计，寻找遇难遗骸是告慰死者与家属的重要工作。市政府预计未来数月内公布本季初步汇总报告，市长门罗·尼科尔斯表示，两届市政府接力八年，只为查明真相、告慰家属。

Tulsa Massacre Graves Investigation Closes Season With 47 Newly Found Unmarked Burials
The city of Tulsa announced on Nov. 5 that the sixth season of fieldwork in the search for graves of victims of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre has ended. This season, investigators found 47 previously undocumented burials at Oaklawn Cemetery, 13 of them outside the cemetery fence and 12 beneath a walkway. Forensic teams X-rayed each set of remains and confirmed two more individuals with gunshot wounds — one buried in a coffin, one in a simple wooden box — bringing the total of gunshot victims found at Oaklawn to 10. Nine individuals exhumed this season met the investigation criteria and will undergo DNA analysis; 11 who did not meet the criteria were reburied in their original graves inside the fence, and remains from the other 18 burials outside the fence will be reburied after forensic analysis. Since the search began, more than 300 previously unknown burial sites have been documented, and one victim has been identified as C.L. Daniel. In the 1921 massacre, white mobs attacked Tulsa's Black Greenwood district; the death toll has never been firmly established, and locating the remains is central to honoring the dead and their families. The city expects a preliminary season summary in the coming months; Mayor Monroe Nichols said two administrations have carried the work across eight years for one purpose: to find the truth and console the families.
