Local Groups To Dedicate Historic Tree In Memory Of Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial

Local Groups To Dedicate Historic Tree In Memory Of Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Happening this weekend, some local groups are coming together to dedicate a historic tree in memory of the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial.  Plantseads, the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission, and others are hosting the ceremony at 12 p.m. Saturday in front of Carver Middle School where the tree is. Plantseads officials said the tree is almost 100-years-old, making it one of the only things left in the Greenwood community from around the same time as the Tulsa Race Massacre.  Officials said the 95-year-old tree is a symbol of growth and resilience after a devastating event in history so it is more than necessary to do something to honor it.

Oklahoma Senate Sends 2 Bills Aimed At Protesters To The Governor

Credit Black Wall Street Times The Oklahoma Senate on Wednesday sent the governor two bills to clamp down on protests. House Bill 1674 grants drivers who hit protesters in the road immunity if they feared they’d be hurt or killed, even if a protester dies. Sen. Rob Standridge (R-Norman) repeatedly cited an incident in Tulsa last summer where a man drove through a crowd on the Inner Dispersal Loop  protesting police violence against Black Americans. One man fell off the overpass and was paralyzed. Standridge was reminded the driver was not charged in that case.

The march was to mark the anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 and to protest the death of George Floyd, who was pinned at the neck by a Minneapolis police officer. Oklahoma s Legislature on Wednesday gave final passage to bills that seek to crack down on protests and prevent outbursts in local public meetings.  The Senate gave final passage to House Bill 1674 by Rep. Kevin West, R-Moore, and Sen. Rob Standridge, R-Norman, that protects drivers if they feel fleeing from a riot is necessary to escape serious injury or death.
