In North Tulsa, an archeological project reaches year three of uncovering part of the history of the Greenwood district stories that have not been told for decades.

For example, just north of the RDL, where the OSU water tower is, there are four trees here that are set in a square pattern, a pattern that's not really natural, you don't have square patterns in nature.

But if you look at the base of the trees, you can see where the roots have grown up years and years ago around some stonework that is the remains of what many believe was a house or a building, maybe a storeroom stood in this spot between these four trees.

For the first time this year, the archaeological group dug in this area to try to find out what was there.

They hope to find out what the story of this area is, who was here, and why it's something they're hoping will bring justice to this generation and future generations.

"We have to keep digging, you have to keep finding that information and piecing together those gaps," said Kristi Williams, a Race Massacre descendant. "Because this is not just for us, this is for those who are behind us, for those who are coming in until justice is served. This is always going to be the case, and I mean, that's just what it is, and you're out here today, and I know you can just feel that energy in these trees are talking, the bones are talking. So, it's time that we listen."

Now, one of those stories that hasn't been told is one that they said happened right here on this hill during the Greenwood massacre.

There was a man standing up here on top of this hill, a black man who was a World War One veteran had a Gatling gun and was basically providing cover fire for black families who are trying to escape using the railroad tracks on their way out of town.

So that's a story that's not really memorialized anywhere here something they want to bring to the forefront along with anything else they find in Greenwood.
