In Tvlse for the dedication of the new signage on the Midland Valley Trail. The Muscogee Reservation roots run deep along this trail, and now the Mvskoke language will represent that.

When Oklahoma artist @fazlalizadeh began thinking of the centennial of the #TulsaMassacre, she started writing a letter to the Black Tulsans of today. In collaboration with the @Philbrook, this public art installation is now on view on Tulsa's historic Greenwood Avenue.
Tremendous news: @newmarkjschool health/sci grad KalaLea @kala_curious hosts a six-part @WNYC@HISTORY podcast, Blindspot: Tulsa Burning, about the white supremacist massacre there 100 yrs ago. Congrats, KalaLea!! Can't wait to listen https://t.co/fpsVBl3Yw8
I was frustrated for you. As an ally, it helps me to hear you process that with listeners. I want to tell you both, that I deeply respect you for the courage and daily commitment to honor your whole selves, and honor the lived experiences of current, past and future generations
@kala_curious and @DeNeenLBrown Tulsan here, I listened to this episode and was thankful for your all’s voices. I especially appreciated the way, I think it was @kala_curious acknowledged the trauma you were experiencing in simply hearing the caller talk about Tulsa. 1/
Earlier, we talked to @kala_curious & @DeNeenLBrown about the new season of the podcast Blindspot called Tulsa Burning from the @HISTORY Channel in collaboration with @WNYCStudios + importance of remembering this nation's history.

The lines that separated north and south Tulsa remain intact today. As a South Tulsan, interacting with this city for 35 years, I crossed these lines more times this week than I ever have. Each time, I crossed back to south Tulsa with a new awareness and recommitment to justice
One would hope that 100 years from the day, #Tulsa would be a different city. But these two trucks drove around the perimeter of Greenwood with their stars and bars on the anniversary of #Blackwallstreet
Just got back in town yesterday after taking the last week to commemorate the horrors my hometown of Tulsa, OK endured a century ago, but that Black Tulsans have been impacted by daily for the last 100 years. The historical racial trauma of Tulsa is tremendous. #reparationsnow
The second-greatest theft in America history was depriving generations of people about the brilliance and exceptionalism of African Americans. The first was, well you know, the land.
We shall be silent no more. #TeachAllAmericanHistory
Much admiration for @DeNeenLBrown’s long term dedication to uncovering the truth about the 1921 #TulsaMassacre in her @washingtonpost stories & @PBS doc “Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten.” Reporting by this daughter of Oklahoma has opened eyes & contributed to the reckoning.
Shine the light of truth on this lie. “Most just”…says the man who was scared for his and his families life when a white mob was within feet from finding them and a Black man saved them by distracting them and running them away. @nhannahjones I’m ordering mine now!
A critical update from our pastor living with cancer. #GivingTuesday is a great time to support loved ones who need access to medical treatment. #goteamgabe https://t.co/NDhOsrgTMp
AP has changed its writing style guide to capitalize the “b” in the term Black when referring to people in a racial, ethnic or cultural context, weighing in on a hotly debated issue. https://t.co/yeigYh9GWU
