We were honored to host an inspiring Youth Panel Program at Greenwood Rising, featuring incredible students from Central High School and KIPP Tulsa.

This event created a powerful space for young voices to be heard—giving students the opportunity to share their honest thoughts, perspectives, and hopes for the Greenwood District. Their reflections were thoughtful, courageous, and deeply impactful.

Our youth panelists didn’t just speak—they inspired. They challenged attendees to listen, to reflect, and to see the future of Greenwood through their eyes. With pride and purpose, they represented their schools and their community with excellence.

We were also honored to welcome a special guest, Miss Juneteenth 2025 from Union High School, whose presence added even more inspiration to the conversation and celebration of youth leadership.

Moments like these remind us that the next generation is not only engaged—they are ready to lead, shape conversations, and carry forward the legacy of Greenwood.

Thank you to our students, educators, and community members who made this meaningful experience possible.

We had an incredible turnout at Greenwood Rising for our recent Green Book experience—an immersive program that brought history to life in a powerful and unforgettable way.

Guests participated in a guided tour paired with a theatrical performance that explored what it was like to navigate travel in the 1960s using the Green Book. Through storytelling and lived perspectives, the experience invited our audience to step into a time when safety, dignity, and access were not guaranteed—and every journey required careful planning and courage.

This program was more than a reflection of the past—it was an opportunity to deepen understanding, spark meaningful conversations, and connect history to the present.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this experience so impactful. We look forward to continuing to create programs that educate, engage, and inspire our community.

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.
