Our reporters this year did what they do every year: They wrote the first drafts of history. They did it at protests and rallies. But they also did it in living rooms in front of grieving families and in graveyards as ancestors waited for peace. We asked each reporter and photographer at the Tulsa World to share their most memorable stories and photos. Today, we asked reporters to reflect back on their work. Next Sunday, itâs the photographersâ turn. Itâs important to remember so we will never forget.
