World War I veteran's remains identified in Tulsa Massacre mass grave

A World War I veteran is the first person identified from the more than 100 bodies found in a mass grave from the Tulsa Race Massacre, 103 years after his death.

On Friday, July 12, the City of Tulsa announced that forensic investigators confirmed the identity of one set of remains as C.L. Daniel, a Black veteran of the United States Army. Daniel is the first of dozens of unidentified bodies buried in a Tulsa cemetery that teams began trying to identify in 2021.

“C.L. Daniel was a veteran who served our country in World War I, who was killed in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, and whose family did not know where he had been buried for the last 103 years — until this week,” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said in the release.
