Description Program Srvc AccomDescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
WE ARE WORKING WITH TULSA PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO CURATE CURRICULUM FOR SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS. THIS COLLABORATION COVERS BOTH PEDAGOGY AND THE CURRICULUM TAUGHT IN CLASS BEFORE THE FIELD TRIPS, DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATE GRADE LEVELS TO BE INCLUDED, TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS, LUNCHES TO BE PROVIDED, AND AGREEING UPON OTHER HISTORIC DESTINATION POINTS TO VISIT BEYOND GREENWOOD RISING (E.G., JOHN HOPE FRANKLIN RECONCILIATION PARK, GREENWOOD CULTURAL CENTER, VERNON AME CHURCH, AND THE PATHWAY TO HOPE). THIS PLANNING ALSO INCLUDES CURRICULUM FOR IN-CLASS USE AFTER THE FIELD TRIP TO DETERMINE THE QUALITATIVE IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND HOW THE EXPERIENCE AFFECTED ATTITUDES AND/OR PERSPECTIVES ON RACE RELATIONS.
THE YOUTH RACE & LEADERSHIP FORUM IS A PARTNERSHIP OF GREENWOOD RISING WITH THE OKLAHOMA CENTER FOR COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE ("OCCJ"). THE FORUM WILL ENGAGE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE RELATIONS IN TULSA AND ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. A CRITICAL PART OF THE FORUM IS FOR STUDENTS TO PLAN AND EXECUTE A PROJECT TO ENGAGE THEIR PEERS TO LEARN ABOUT THE 1921 TULSA RACE MASSACRE, AS WELL AS RACE RELATIONS IN AMERICA TODAY. SCHOLARSHIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS FORUM WILL AWARDED, FUNDING PERMITTING.
WE WILL RECRUIT TWENTY-FIVE SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS FROM THE GREATER TULSA AREA TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL SUMMER TULSA RACE MASSACRE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. CURRICULUM DEVELOPED BY DR. KARLOS K. HILL, AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, AND LOCAL HISTORIAN HANNIBAL B. JOHNSON WILL SERVE AS A RESOURCE FOR THE INSTITUTE.
THE GREENWOOD RISING HISTORY CENTER HAS WELCOMED OVER 40,000 VISITORS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE SINCE OPENING ITS DOORS AUGUST 4TH, 2021. BY WALKING THROUGH THE CENTER'S EXHIBITS, THESE VISITORS EXPERIENCED HOW AND WHY AFRICAN AMERICANS CAME TO OKLAHOMA (SPECIFICALLY THE GREENWOOD DISTRICT), THE WAYS IN WHICH THEY SUCCEEDED IN BUILDING A VIBRANT AND WEALTHY COMMUNITY, AND THE STRUGGLES THEY FACED AS THEY ENDURED SYSTEMIC RACIAL OPPRESSION. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES INVOLVE VIRTUAL PLATFORMS AND OTHER EVENTS CENTERED AROUND COMMEMORATION AND UNITY TO PROMOTE DIALOGUE THAT CONTINUALLY LEADS TO POSITIVE PERSONAL CHANGES TO PROMOTE A BETTER FUTURE FOR RACE RELATIONS IN AMERICA.
