tulsa race massacre

Oklahoma State University-Tulsa has launched the Center for Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation at OSU-Tulsa, a new community-focused center with a mission to address the historic and contemporary effects of racism and to bring about transformational and sustainable change.

Oklahoma State University-Tulsa will host an interactive workshop with author and artist Day Schildkret in which participants perform a seven-step “Morning Altar” ritual to encourage healing and recovery from trauma, including community and generational trauma.

Graduate students at Oklahoma State University-Tulsa explored how words and media can shape the popular perception of events through a semester-long examination of news and messages related to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

OSU-Tulsa is proud to honor Captola Dunn, chair of the Ellis Walker Woods Memorial Committee, as its inaugural ASPIRE Award recipient. Dunn worked for nearly 30 years to make the memorial dedicated to the first principal of Tulsa’s historic Booker T. Washington High School a reality.
