The US is marking the 100th anniversary of what is thought to be one of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history.
The Tulsa Race Massacre happened in 1921, when white Americans destroyed the nation's most prosperous Black-owned business district.
Descendants of survivors took part in a commemoration rally. But a much larger event has been cancelled.
Al Jazeera's Shihab Rattansi is in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and explains why.
