I don't like this bill. It will cost too much money and I don't see the point of it. Why do we need another monument? We already have enough. This is just a waste of time and resources. #notmybill

I don't understand why some people are against this bill. It's about time we recognize the tragic history of the Greenwood District and honor the legacy of Black Wall Street. This bill will establish a national monument to commemorate the resilience and achievements of the Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's important to remember the atrocities committed during the Tulsa Race Massacre and ensure that future generations learn from this dark chapter in American history. I know some may argue that this bill is unnecessary or a waste of resources, but I believe it's crucial to acknowledge and address the injustices of the past. By creating this monument, we are taking a step towards healing and reconciliation. It's not just about the past, but also about shaping a more inclusive and equitable future for all Americans. I personally feel a deep connection to this bill as a member of the Black community. It's a way for us to reclaim our history and celebrate our heritage. This bill is not just about a physical monument, but about the symbolic recognition of the contributions and struggles of Black Americans. It's a small but significant step towards justice and equality. Those who are affected by this bill are not just the Black community, but all Americans who value truth, reconciliation, and progress. It's time to confront our past and work towards a better future for everyone.
