Oaklawn cemetary is the oldest white cemetary in Tulsa. Burials as early as 1906, 1 yr before OK became a state.

I bet the mayor gets some opposition for this.

In the late 90s there was a state committee considering possible reparations for the extensive damage done to the Greenwood area (35 blocks of houses destroyed). Some whites claimed bringing this up was just stirring up racial tensions. Everyone should just shut up!

Thanks for this post.
