Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols has shared his intentions to bring forward a plan for a road to repair that will help unify Tulsans and heal multi-generational wounds from the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, which stands as one of the worst race massacres in U.S. History.
The original announcement was scheduled for this Sunday, April 6, at Morning Star Baptist Church and the announcement has been moved to the June 1 Tulsa Race Massacre Observance Day in order to engage and respect the community’s needs.
Last month, Mayor Nichols announced an annual day of observance on June 1, which recognizes the lives lost during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and serves as a day for residents, schools, businesses, and community organizations to participate in appropriate observances, activities, and discussions that reflect the significance of the day and forever honor the memory of those who lost their lives.
Additional information about the June 1 announcement will be shared soon.
