The John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation invites you to join us at the 12th Annual Dinner of Reconciliation scheduled for Thursday, November 16, 2023, at Greenwood Cultural Center, 322 North Greenwood Avenue in Tulsa! The Dinner of Reconciliation brings together more than 500 guests of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions and languages across Tulsa to get to know each other better.  The Dinner encourages positive relationship building and fosters interaction between individuals of diverse cultures and backgrounds. Hearing each other’s stories and learning our own; acknowledging that, as a community, all our challenges are mutual challenges; shouldering one another’s burden and working side-by-side to realize our objectives, through these efforts we effect change, build community, and face the future as a unified community. Our task is not an easy one, but it offers an unparalleled opportunity to heal and grow. Our goal is a model of equally shared harmony and prosperity: one that the nation looks to as an example of how a wounded but determined community can own its past and use it as a catalyst to shape its future.
