Greenwood Cultural Center
322 North Greenwood Avenue

He was a founding father of Tulsa. But he was also a violent man who helped bring the Klan to Oklahoma.

HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE LEGACY OF TATE BRADY? Now that Tulsa knows the truth about one of its controversial founding fathers, entire areas of town are put into question. We invite you to listen and ask questions about how we should respond as a community.

Historian Paul Vickery opens this provocative public forum with a brief monologue in character as Tulsa founder Tate Brady–the subject of This Land’s controversial new report.

Folllowing the performance, we’ll hear from a panel of distinguished guests who will offer their opinions on how Tulsa should move forward in light of all the findings regarding the exposed facts of Brady’s life.

Guest panelists include:
OK State Senator Judy Eason McIntyre
OK State Rep Seneca Scott
Adam Nemec of New Medio
Oklahoma Eagle editor James Goodwin
and Bill O’Conner of the Oklahoma Center for Community & Justice
