During the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, white mobs killed over 300 African Americans and destroyed Greenwood, known as Black Wall Street. The tragedy was omitted from public records and textbooks for decades. Now, City Councilor Vanessa Hall Harper and her allies are fighting for reparations for survivors and descendants. If they succeed, Tulsa will become only the second city in the country to implement such policies.
Join us for a special preview screening of “Tulsa Speaks,” a powerful new documentary by Dr. Kristal B. Zook and Sekiya Dorsett.
Followed by a conversation with Prof. William I. Jennings, Chair of the Department of Radio/Television/Film; Dr. Aisha M. Wilson-Carter, Executive Director for Equity and Inclusion; and Dr. Jonathan Lightfoot, Director of the Center for “Race,” Culture and Social Justice
Presented by The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication and Hofstra Cultural Center.
