A reparations lawsuit filed by the three last known survivors of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre was tossed out in Oklahoma court on Friday, records show. Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108, Viola Fletcher, 109, and Hughes Van Ellis, 102, sought relief from the “ongoing public nuisance” of the damages from the white supremacist attack on Oklahoma’s Greenwood District, dubbed Black Wall Street.

The plaintiffs called out how others have benefitted from the “exploitation of the massacre”—which killed up to 300 people, historians estimate—while they have yet to “recover for unjust enrichment.” The City of Tulsa requested the lawsuit be brushed away because “simply being connected to a historical event does not provide a person with unlimited rights to seek compensation,”  CNN reported.

Judge Caroline Wall sided with the city on Friday and dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. “My life was taken from me,” Van Ellis previously said, according to CNN. “I lost 102 years. I don’t want nobody else to lose that.”

Posted @withregram • @yolandarabun MENTOR FOR LIFE. Some 20 years ago I heard this booming voice over the phone say Yolanda! It’s M͟a͟r͟v͟j͟n͟ A͟r͟r͟i͟n͟g͟t͟o͟n͟ S͟r͟ . You still at IBM? You doing Well? You making an Impact? You Keep it Up. I’m proud of you. And, He was. I worked at Arrington and Hollowell my first summer after starting law school. I sent pictures to be in the firm Alumni recognitions. This is one of them. It’s in a film about his life.
.
I’m forever grateful for Mr Arrington’s handprint on my life. This week he left this earth.🌏
.
A&H was an out of this world 1L experience, I shared my summer work experience with my colleagues and they were wowed at my “real” 1L job; but it was MORE. Mr Arrington guided me with life tips, before, throughout and after law school! I still have my copy of Bramble Bush and followed his advice on courses to take. I remembered thinking I am being mentored by a giant! Giant personality, giant voice, giant genius. Good night Mr. Arrington. My life has been changed FOR GOOD. #mylifeasalawyer
