Unity and Solidarity
To serve as a symbol to Greenwood and North Tulsa that the City of Tulsa has never forgotten the horrible events that took place starting May 30th, 1921. That Greenwood and North Tulsa is never forgotten and the City sees you.
To also serve as a beacon for unity. We have been a divided city, whether we agree on that or not, and we have lost the ability to sit down with each other and have civil discourse. We hope this inspires more discussion, moments of education and impact, and really seeing each other.
To: Tulsa Community
As we approach the commemoration of the tragic events that unfolded in 1921 within the Greenwood community, we open our arms to all Tulsa businesses, organizations, and individuals, urging them to join us in “GOING GREEN” in remembrance.
In tribute to the indomitable spirit and enduring legacy of the Greenwood district, we are proud to unveil the GO GREEN FOR GREENWOOD initiative. We call upon all Tulsa companies to unite with us by illuminating their business lights downtown Tulsa and beyond in solid green from May 30th to June 1st, marking the commencement of this annual remembrance.
Don your green attire and share your support on social media using the hashtag #GoGreenForGreenwood.
The driving forces behind this initiative are Mr. Greenwood Tony Williams, a devoted entrepreneur and advocate for the Greenwood community, and Niyo Little Thunder Pearson, a distinguished global cybersecurity expert and community champion. Together with esteemed organizations and individuals, we stand united in preserving the memory of Greenwood and nurturing its ongoing revitalization.
