The US President has travelled to Oklahoma's second city, Tulsa, to commemorate the massacre which occurred a century ago.
It caused the total destruction of one of the country's wealthiest Black communities.
The attack saw 300 African Americans lose their lives and over 10,000 become homeless.
However, this racial violence has not been talked about openly.
Local people believe it should be public knowledge.
A century ago, on 31st May 1921, a young Black man was accused of attacking a white woman.
He was placed in the courthouse in Tulsa.
Black crowds gathered to protect the accused man after furious white people had assembled there.
When shots were fired, African Americans fled to Greenwood, a successful Black neighbourhood.
The white attackers also robbed homes and businesses and then burned Greenwood to the ground.
Tulsa police provided guns to some of the white men.
The President explained the need for history to record the disaster.
Before the event, Biden announced financial aid and legal changes to decrease the gap in earnings and life chances between Black people and white people.
However, some Tulsa residents are not convinced.
A report in 2001 recommended paying compensation to Tulsa survivors and relatives.
However, no positive action has been taken to secure this.
