History center Greenwood Rising dedicated
Tulsa World
TULSA, Oklahoma (Tulsa World) The dedication of Greenwood Rising may coincide with the centennial of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, but the brand new history center will give visitors a broader view of what came before and after and also what is still possible in the future.
A large gathering of descendants from all over, as well as other residents and community leaders from throughout Tulsa filled the intersection of Archer Street and Greenwood Avenue for two hours Wednesday to mark the occasion.
The $18.2 million legacy project of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission was funded with private donations out of the total $30 million total raised by the Commission, including local and state dollars. It will open to the general public in July.

TULSA After earning a slew of accolades for creating a compelling alternate-history version of present-day Tulsa, Damon Lindelof finally made it to the real place. We always understood that what happened here was a real thing, even though we were making a piece of fiction. And when you come to a real place, you feel what happened there. So, still processing, Lindelof said Sunday night from the stage on the grounds of Oklahoma State University-Tulsa in the historic Greenwood District. It was emotionally overwhelming and intense, and we re just really grateful that we get to be here.
