In a district demolished a century ago in the Tulsa Race Massacre and rebuilt from the rubble, state Rep. Monroe Nichols declared victory as the first Black Tulsan elected as the city’s mayor.

Monroe will also be Tulsa's first Black mayor. He gave his acceptance speech in front of images of Black Wall Street in the days before the Tulsa Race Massacre.

Nichols, a state legislator, received 55.54% of votes cast with Karen Keith, a county commissioner and former local news anchor, receiving 44.46%, according to unofficial results that show 95% of precincts reporting.
