Biden remarks to follow tour, meeting Following his tour and meeting with survivors, Biden is scheduled to give remarks at 3:15 p.m. Per the White House, he is scheduled to depart Tulsa at 4:50 p.m. Biden issues proclamation for massacre to be 'a day of remembrance' A day before his scheduled visit to Tulsa, Biden issued a proclamation stating the "must reckon with and acknowledge the role that it has played in stripping wealth and opportunity from Black communities." Here's the president's proclamation in full: One hundred years ago, a violent white supremacist mob raided, firebombed, and destroyed approximately 35 square blocks of the thriving Black neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Families and children were murdered in cold blood. Homes, businesses, and churches were burned. In all, as many as 300 Black Americans were killed, and nearly 10,000 were left destitute and homeless. Today, on this solemn centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre, I call on the American people to reflect on the deep roots of racial terror in our Nation and recommit to the work of rooting out systemic racism across our country.
