My journey to Tulsa was so life-changing, I'd like to share it with you, First name / friends. 

Sheletta Brundidge and I talk about why it was so impactful for me, and you can listen on WCCO News Talk 830.  

You can't imagine what it felt like to be where Black Wall Street once existed and to meet Viola Fletcher (age 107) and Hughes Van Ellis (age 100) in person.

In the pictures below, I not only share my journey but how important action is in creating justice and social change.

Memories shared from the 3 known survivors of the Tulsa Massacre can help move social, political and economic change.

With 8,000 people left homeless, hundreds murdered, and nearly 3 million in economic damage, descendants have been greatly impacted.

Data and stories like these create and encourage action.  Action is needed to create justice and social change.

The Greenwood District was a “nationally-renowned entrepreneurial center” and came to be known as Black Wall Street. 

Tim Reid's Greenwood film series is helping to bring awareness to what happened there.

We encourage you to visit the site which contains a wealth of resources to explore about Greenwood including stories from people who were directly impacted.

Media is another powerful way to ignite action. Action is needed to bring forth racial justice.

This tribute, called “Steps to Nowhere”, has a way of holding what can not always be expressed in words.

Because the collaboration of artists chose to place their art where homes used to be and now there are none, the experience is magnified.

Art is another way to motivate action. Action is needed to bring about a just and equitable world. 

You can encourage young people to get involved as well.  

Teaching them that their stories are needed to preserve culture and motivate change is why we launched the Youth Writing Competition.

You can listen to this episode on WCCO News Talk 830 with Sheletta Brundidge and myself to learn more.

We've also put together a Tulsa Race Massacre booklist on Bookshop for further education and inspired action.
