This is Greenwood Rising with Whitney Stauffer & Stephen Dinnen

On this episode I chatted with Stephen and Whitney about their involvement in Greenwood Rising. Greenwood Rising is the legacy project of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission. We talk about all the details in the building and how it remembers the victors and survivors.

 “Greenwood Rising will educate Oklahomans and Americans about the Race Massacre and its impact on the state and Nation; remember its victims and survivors, and create an environment conducive to fostering sustainable entrepreneurship and heritage tourism within the Greenwood District specifically, and North Tulsa generally.””

— Senator Matthews
