A televised event marking a century since the Tulsa Race Massacre has been cancelled, reportedly due to a recommendation from the Department of Homeland Security.

Featured guests at the memorial were to include singer-songwriter John Legend and political campaigner Stacey Abrams, and planned on airing on the tragedy’s 100 year anniversary and was titled ‘Remember and Rise’.

The decision to halt the event was shared yesterday via a statement by the organisers..

“Due to unexpected circumstances with entertainers and speakers, the Centennial Commission is unable to fulfil our high expectations for Monday afternoon’s commemoration event and has determined not to move forward with the event at this time. We have hopes to reschedule later in this 100th commemorative year,” wrote the The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission.
