This summer, Tulsa elementary children join us at the Tulsa School for Arts & Sciences for our 1619 Project Summer Program!

For the month of July, we had crafts, activities, and field trips to help our children learn more about their history.

Thank you to the Tulsa School for Arts & Sciences for hosting us, and thank you to the George Kaiser Family Foundation and Arts Alliance Tulsa for sponsoring this important program!

The second session of “Bridging the Gap: Cops & Community Conversations” will begin later this year with facilitator Jonathan Townsend!

The pilot program was created to enable open, productive discussions between North Tulsa leaders and Tulsa Police Department officers, including Major Mark Ohnesorge, Deputy Chief Mark Wollmershauser Jr., and Chief Dennis Larsen.

GCC and TPD designed the program to address both the historical harms and present-day dynamics between law enforcement and North Tulsa residents. The pilot program’s success led directly to a second series.

For additional information, please contact Michelle Burdex at [email protected].

You can watch the first session on our YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xvPmsRksMs&list=PLZMSOMsX55147kRxpDmKOFAEInDXuYTPR

Tonight at 7 p.m., join us at the Mabel B. Little Heritage House for a free community jam with members of the Silkroad Ensemble.

This is more than music. It is memory.

The banjo, often misunderstood as only a bluegrass or country instrument, has deep African and African American roots. It was created and carried forward by enslaved Africans and their descendants in the Americas. Its sound is part of our story, a story of survival, creativity, resistance, and joy.

To experience this music on Greenwood soil, at a house that stands as a symbol of Black resilience after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, is powerful.

Bring your family. Bring your neighbors. Come celebrate the music, history, and legacy that still lives in us.

Free event
Tonight at 7:00 p.m.
Mabel B. Little Heritage House
