With the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre less than a month away, one of the organizers of the city s official commemoration is amazed by the way the centennial is coming together and bringing communities together. There s not a sector or industry in Tulsa that has not stepped in either with checks and resources monetarily or with people or with volunteers. There s not one aspect of our city not being impacted right now . and this is not a Tulsa thing. This is an Oklahoma thing.
The Tulsa Race Massacre was one of the worst episodes of racial violence in U.S. history. Between May 31 and June 1, 1921, mobs of white residents attacked, set aflame and ultimately devastated the Greenwood District, which was at that time one of the wealthiest Black communities in the United States, earning it the name Black Wall Street.

TULSA In 1975, iconic Oklahoma writer Ralph Ellison returned to his home state to be honored and left it with a message: that through art and literature, we are able to free ourselves from the limitations of today.” He talked about the role of literature and the art in allowing us to process the world that we re in, said Sara O’Keeffe, the Nancy E. Meinig Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at Tulsa s Philbrook Museum of Art. What s beautiful about the speech is he d come back because a library was getting named in his honor. . It was significant for him because the library system had been segregated in Oklahoma, and so growing up for him, it was difficult to go to certain libraries.
