On the Town: OKC Memorial, NPR lead month of remembrance

On the Town: OKC Memorial, NPR lead month of remembrance By: Lillie-Beth Brinkman The Journal Record April 8, 2021 Lillie-Beth Brinkman The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum kicks off its month of remembrance Friday with a special virtual discussion with NPR’s Krista Tippett from noon to 1 p.m. about having better conversations. Following this month’s theme of “Sacred Ground to Find Common Ground,” the conversation will feature Tippett, founder and CEO of the On Being Project and an Oklahoma native; Kari Watkins, the memorial’s executive director; and John Kennedy, former Oklahoma secretary of state and current Memorial board vice chairman. Tippett’s NPR show is excellent, so I’ll be interested to hear what she has to say in this conversation.

The city covered up the truth of its Greenwood District, forcing Black residents to regroup and rebuild.
