OKLAHOMA: JUDGE DISMISSES RACE-RIOT SUIT Survivors of a race riot that destroyed Greenwood, a black neighborhood in Tulsa, 83 years ago cannot seek reparations in court because of the long-expired statute of limitations, Judge James Ellison of United States District Court ruled. The judge dismissed a suit filed last year against the city and the state by 150 survivors and about 300 descendants of those who lost property or were killed in the 1921 riot. His decision, issued Friday, was entered into the court's record system yesterday. (AP)
