Hundreds of Black gun owners from around the country are planning to descend upon Tulsa, Oklahoma in the coming months to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Groups ranging from the New Black Panther organization to the Elmer Geronimo Pratt Gun Club are working together to promote responsible gun ownership, advocate for civil rights and help communities search for missing Black residents. Their joint efforts will culminate with the Black Empowerment Convention. These types of things can never happen again. We cannot allow our people to just be massacred, to be slaughtered. So a lot of people will just see the weapons, but if you go on our website, you will see there is more to us than just firearms,
