Detailed explanation-2: -Around noon on June 1, the Oklahoma National Guard imposed martial law, ending the massacre. About 10, 000 Black people were left homeless, and the cost of the property damage amounted to more than $1.5 million in real estate and $750, 000 in personal property (equivalent to $34.18 million in 2021).
