On May 31, 1921, a white supremacist mob attacked a thriving business district known as Black Wall Street. Hundreds of residents in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa were killed as Black homes, businesses, and churches were burned to the ground.
103 years later, this history must be taught and remembered. I am grateful for Mother Fletcher, the oldest known survivor, for continuing to underscore the horrors of what happened in Tulsa.
Together, we must fight extremists’ attempts to ban books and rewrite our past. Moving toward progress, justice, and opportunity for all requires that we speak the truth.

We don’t truly honor our history by putting pics of historical figures on the wall or reciting quotes. We honor our history by getting up every day and fighting for those of us who have the least power and resources. #TheStruggleContinues

Thank you St. Louis! Today marks my literal tenth year on the job as President & CEO of the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis! Thank you to the Board of Directors, Marc H. Morial & the NUL for having the faith & confidence in me to lead this prestigious 105 year old organization that now serves over 200,000 people a year in 23 locations in two states with 350 fantastic employees & thousands of volunteers! It has been an extremely hectic & challenging decade on many levels locally, nationally and globally from the Ferguson Crisis, Stockley Verdict, George Floyd & countless others who have died and COVID but it has also been an extremely rewarding decade with the The National Urban League Conference, our Centennial, multiple mergers, tremendous growth & the enormous generosity of our community! May the next several decades be even more rewarding for the benefit of this amazing region! #ULSTL #UrbanLeague #Grateful
