Vision

Our Focus Areas

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

History

"We believe sustainability of our cultural heritage must be at the heart of our existence."

Culture

We believe education is the key to understanding Greenwood's history and people.  We take pride in honoring the vision of our founders by offering educational and cultural learning opportunities.
