Tulsa's Greenwood District (fb)

Good article today in the Journal Record.  You cannot understand Oklahoma without understanding this issue.  If we care about city transformation in OKC or Tulsa we have to understand that Oklahoma was the site of perhaps the most heinous act of racism in the history of our country.

Praying FOR city transformation means praying and working AGAINST some things.  To know what those things are requires that we become students of our cities/states/nations.  To be a student of Oklahoma is to see racism as THE primary obstacle to real transformation.

Change always begins with awareness- as we shed light on dark things we bring them into the arena where Kingdom comes.
