Community Deep Read Brings Tulsa's History to Life

If you thought book clubs were just for sipping wine and discussing the latest beach read, think again. Ten organizations in Tulsa are partnering for an enlightening community deep read on Victor Luckerson's new tome, "Built From the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, America’s Black Wall Street."

• More Than a Massacre: This isn't a one-and-done event; it's a year-long series aptly named "Deep Greenwood." Each gathering delves into different eras of Greenwood's 118-year history, far beyond the devastating Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.

• Local Luminary: Victor Luckerson, a National Magazine Award nominee, serves as the guide through this profound journey, reminding us that Greenwood's story is one of both "horrors" and "a lot of hope."
