Now that you've read Killers of the Flower Moon and researched the book/new movie's historical accuracy, it's time to choose your own research project.

You may choose a historical novel, artwork, or film to research. You will need to find 3-5 sources and at least 1 needs to be a physical source (i.e. a book). Your goal is to compare and contrast your chosen piece of media to the actual historical event.

After you complete your research, you will present your findings digitally via an infographic, slideshow, collage, video, or podcast. Whatever way you present your research, you must include correct citations for your sources.

Welcome to American History

The museum's world class collections help tell the complex history of our nation. We are located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Open today 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Plan Your Visit

Entertainment has the power to captivate, inspire and transform us. It brings us together. We share it when we spontaneously recite lines from a favorite movie, dance to the same groove or recreate a national sports moment on a neighborhood street. It can also spur critical conversations, expose divides, and foster important historical change.

Objects from the Collections

Sixteen-year-old Judy Garland wore these sequined shoes as Dorothy Gale in the 1939 MGM musical film The Wizard of Oz.

Muhammad Ali gained fame for his boxing skills, charisma, and the controversy he generated outside the ring.

Jim Henson's first Kermit puppet was made from his mother's old spring coat and a pair of blue jeans.

As the nation's history museum, we empower people to create a just and compassionate future by exploring, preserving, and sharing the complexity of our past.

We envision Tulsa as a community that celebrates and promotes the extraordinary heritage, history and legacy of African Americans and the Greenwood District and is a model of multiculturalism at its best.

We value our history and the integrity of our ancestors. We make the promise to tell the whole truth of 1921 and those that were affected through the tragic massacre that occurred just steps from where our building is located.

"History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveler." -Henry Galssie

Greenwood Features

Barney Clever

"Barney S. Cleaver, the first African-American policeman in Tulsa, was born in Newbern, VA in 1865 (the actual date was January 2, 1867). In Newbern, he attended public school until he was fifteen. He then moved to Charleston, WV where he initially worked on a steamer and later worked in the coal mines.

Mt. Zion

The church, like others in Greenwood, was a symbol of economic might that became symbolic of the largest concentration of black wealth in America. To have Mount Zion return in a state "as good as it ever was," said Givens, inspired the district's black residents to move forward.

A.J Smitherman

A.J. Smitherman, newspaper editor and publisher of the Tulsa Star, was not only an influential leader in Tulsa's wealthy and growing black community, he was its conscience. He helped shape the spirit of The Black Wall Street of America with his continuous and fearless denunciations against Jim Crow.

Greenwood Rebuild

It has been noted the origin of war is theft, a collective will for a collective purpose. Tulsa's blacks may have fallen victim of the axiom. They had refused to sell their land, with its strategic location, before and after the catastrophe.

Future GCC

The future of GCC is bright and changing! We are currently working on a renovation project and we can't wait for you to see all that we have in store.
