This Black History Month, we’re especially grateful for the groups who choose to spend their time with us at Greenwood Rising. 🖤

There’s something powerful about walking through this history together—asking questions, listening, reflecting, and learning. Our guided tours aren’t just about sharing facts; they’re about honoring lives, preserving legacy, and creating space for meaningful conversations about where we’ve been and where we’re going.

Tulsa’s Greenwood Rising Museum is approaching its fifth anniversary, and its impact continues to resonate far beyond our city.

Since opening, nearly 170,000 visitors from around the world have walked through its doors to learn about Greenwood and the legacy of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Even more meaningful, thousands of Oklahoma students, community members, and leaders engage with this history each year through educational partnerships and community programming.

Greenwood Rising is more than a museum—it is a space for truth-telling, remembrance, and learning, and a vital part of how we honor the past while shaping a more informed future.

I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch this story and learn more about the work being done at Greenwood Rising.

The Greenwood Rising Museum in downtown Tulsa is celebrating its fifth anniversary by welcoming visitors, offering educational programs, and hosting free monthly admission for Oklahoma residents.
