James Lankford (R-Okla.) to resign his seat on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission after his role in sowing doubt about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and the insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol. When people show you who you are, believe them the FIRST time! wrote activist Dr. Tiffany Crutcher in a Saturday Facebook post. We will not sing kumbaya in 2021! Sen. James Lankford resign from the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission NOW! Sen. Lankford should remove himself from the 1921 Race Massacre Centennial Commission. If he doesn’t, then he should be removed, activist and 2020 Tulsa mayoral candidate Greg Robinson wrote.
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.
