"It's actually accomplishing what we always started out wanting to do, that this would not just be what some would refer to as a 'one-and-done,' or a 'Kumbaya' moment where 'OK, we sang, we held hands, now everybody go back home.' This is a commemorative year ... even into the fall with Tulsa Ballet doing a full production and bringing African American artists and dancers from New York and an African American choreographer for a full production about the history of Greenwood," said Phil Armstrong, project director for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission. "This is the beginning. This is not just a time when we do this and never talk about it again. This is a launchpad: Every year we are going to look forward to commemorating and having some type of event that remembers and honors this history."
