Excavators have found 24 new graves that could be linked to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, officials for the Oklahoma city announced Wednesday in a statement.

The excavation for mass graves began in July 2020, nearly a century after the massacre.
The newly found coffins and the remains will be examined to see if they are victims of the massacre.

"This is going to part of our process of discriminating which ones we're going to proceed with in terms of exhuming those individuals and which ones we're actually going to leave in place," Oklahoma State Archaeologist Kary Stackelbeck said in a video statement, according to the Associated Press.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was one of the deadliest instances of racist violence in American history.
