An afternoon in Greenwood 🙌

The Blue toured Greenwood Rising to learn about Black Wall Street and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The team also stopped by the Thunder Fellows office for a firsthand look at how the program unlocks opportunities and experiences for Black high school and college students in Tulsa.
