“The very essence of the life of the mind is the freedom to inquire, to examine, and to criticize.”

John Hope Franklin

  • interactive exhibits
  • student tours and teacher summits

Publishing a facsimile reproduction of Events of the Tulsa Disaster, by Mary Jones Parrish. Mrs. Parrish, a 28-year-old reporter, kept an eye witness journal of the 1921 Race Riot and then interviewed other victims. This small booklet is a primary source for studying both the horrific events and the resilience of African Americans when faced with the destruction of the Greenwood community. Copies are being donated to the Tulsa City-County Library and Tulsa Public Schools. The project received generous support from the Zarrow Family Foundations and the University of Tulsa McFarlin Library.
