The family-owned Pancho Anaya bakery that's been mentioned before has a location here; you can come away with enough pastries to feed an army for just a few dollars, and they're all delicious! On the corner is Fairfellow Coffee, one of my personal favorite shops in the city - they have great coffee, a beautiful setup, and plenty of innovative drinks. Down the block is Whitty Books, a locally-owned bookstore, as well as the Stem Cell Shop, a kitschy science nerd dream come true. It also features the lab of Tyler Thrasher, who does super cool art using bugs and crystallization. Across the block is Calavera's, which has delicious food (my personal favorite is the chile relleno burrito), and a little farther south is Circle Cinema, where you can find independent films and plenty of cool screenings.  This place is definitely worth checking out!]]> 2019-02-27 14:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/335913886 https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336393134 Our alumni are leading across the  city. https://www.forbes.com/sites/dominiquefluker/2019/02/27/tulsa-women-of-color/]]> 2019-02-28 14:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336393134 https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336431266 (Amber Masters)]]> 2019-02-28 15:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336431266 https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336434678 2019-02-28 15:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336434678 nicky_demoss https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336830523 The Race Massacre of 1921 is still among the largest acts of violence against a community of color in our country's history. The massacre aimed to destroy the Greenwood area, then known as "Black Wall Street" - a prosperous and self-sufficient black community. Now, the fight to maintain the historical legacy of Greenwood in the face of gentrification, "arts districts" and more is a very real challenge the community is engaging in.

Their voices pressed the city council to enact a moratorium on the building of dollar stores on the north side

It has graduated more than 12 classes of women, who successfully avoided jail or prison time and in many instances, are able to reconcile with or regain custody (or maintain custody) of their children.

While many moved to the North, often with assistance from the Freedman's Bureau, a large group also went west, to the American "new frontier." Taking their name from the Biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites from Egypt, the Exodusters went west, setting the foundation for a number of black independent communities throughout northeastern Oklahoma, and eventually blossoming into the Black Wall Street you can read about elsewhere on this page. ]]> 2019-03-01 18:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336988997 johnjmurphy17 https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336993949 In 1959, Tulsa became the first Oklahoma city to begin one of the "urban renewal" programs begun under the Eisenhower administration. While there were certainly some general "improvements" to the city, the government's use of eminent domain consistently targeted communities of color for their "renovations" resulting in significant displacement and continued road blocks to the accumulation of generational financial safety nets. ]]> 2019-03-01 19:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336993949 johnjmurphy17 https://padlet.com/jamila_singletonmunson/u6r54gg7ouib/wish/336998469 Now ranked as one Newsweek's Top 65 high schools in America, Booker T.
