With the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre less than a month away, one of the organizers of the city s official commemoration is amazed by the way the centennial is coming together and bringing communities together. There s not a sector or industry in Tulsa that has not stepped in either with checks and resources monetarily or with people or with volunteers. There s not one aspect of our city not being impacted right now . and this is not a Tulsa thing. This is an Oklahoma thing.
The Tulsa Race Massacre was one of the worst episodes of racial violence in U.S. history. Between May 31 and June 1, 1921, mobs of white residents attacked, set aflame and ultimately devastated the Greenwood District, which was at that time one of the wealthiest Black communities in the United States, earning it the name Black Wall Street.

They didnt expect to see so many visitors testing the displays and gabbing with strangers, so they planned a sequel for 2020 that paid attention to social interaction but had to rethink the event when the pandemic hit.

PUBLIC RADIO TULSA: So, in your open letter to the governor you say you are not a political group. So how is it that you came to determine that you wanted to speak out like this?
