Sounds racist to say that black communities need access to white communities in order to create positive outcomes. Why can't the black communities stand on their own?
There were no convictions for any of the charges related to violence. There were decades of silence about the terror, violence, and losses of this event. The riot was largely omitted from local, state, and national histories: "The Tulsa race riot of 1921 was rarely mentioned in history books, classrooms or even in private. Blacks and whites alike grew into middle age unaware of what had taken place." It was not recognized in the Tulsa Tribune feature of "Fifteen Years Ago Today" or "Twenty-five Years Ago Today". A 2017 report detailing the history of the Tulsa Fire Department from 1897 until the date of publication makes no mention of the 1921 fire.
So you can't really have a positive outcome in your community if developers and the city government decide it's time to displace you in the name of progress. How do you stand on your own in this situation?

A century early, the space for NYC's Central Park was 'acquired' by forcing out 1600 residents of Seneca Village.
At about the same time Indians were being forced onto reservations. Why couldn't the Indian communities stand on their own?
