South of tulsa about 60 miles south. My father and mother moved there about 1911 or 12 because he had had experiences in shreveport, louisiana. These are as red experiences that were not present. He was ready to give up on the white people because the way they treated him. He had been thrown out of court in shreveport, louisiana. So he retreated from shreveport and where he was practicing and went to an allblack town. Due to the humiliation he experienced in shreveport. They moved to in about 1912.

They were about to take him and give him protection when they were assured nothing would happen to him. And that they should go back to that part of town. Which they were willing to do but as they retreated from the courthouse. Someone fire the gun and the rest is history. Good afternoon and welcome to
