...African American Literature November 4, 2015 The Legacy of the Tulsa Race Riot Greenwood, Tulsa Oklahoma, “Black Wall Street” In the early 20th century Greenwood, a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was the most affluent and successful African American communities in the United States. The oil booms of the early 1900’s had many people moving to Tulsa for a chance at quick economic gains and African Americans hoped to prosper from the new industry as well. Tulsa, like many cities and towns throughout the US, was highly segregated, with African Americans settling into the northern areas of the city. The racial split gave African Americans the ability and motivation to make Greenwood a black entrepreneurial mecca. By 1920 black owned businesses were spread over a mile long. They included grocery stores, restaurants, and medical and law offices. The community also developed two daily newspapers. Greenwood Oklahoma’s success gave the town the popularly known name of “Black Wall Street”(Johnson). The hostile racism and success of the community lead the white people in Tulsa to develop spite and jealousy. These harsh feelings lead to one of the most damaging riots in history, killing over three hundred Oklahoma citizens and leaving over nine thousand homeless. The Indian Appropriations Bill was passed and signed into law in 1889, which authorized President Benjamin Harrison to open unassigned lands to white settlers. The passing of the bill lead to The Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889...

...MEMO Evaluation of the Urgent and its financial feasibility has been conducted to determine if Tulsa Memorial Hospital should continue to maintain and operate this division of our business. The Urgent Care is currently seeing an average of 1230 visits per month creating $47,000 in net revenue. A breakeven analysis shows that the center should see 1460 visits per month at its current staff and cost (see appendix). In order for the center to break even, they would need to see an additional 230 patients per month or 8 patient per day. I have approached our marketing department to identify what financial impact would have if we launched a program to drive business directly to the Urgent Care. Here are some of the numbers before we consider this approach: * $7000/month= for marketing program * $7000/30days=$233.33/day needed to run the program * $38.25= the approximate amount each patient is charged * $5.00=variable cost per patient * The urgent care would need to see an additional 7 patients/day simply to pay for the marketing program. Although 7 patients per day does not sound like much, a majority of the loss would be from the additional staffing. The addition of 1 patient could cost $663. ($465 additional staffing+$233 marketing 1 day-$35 revenue from the patient.) According to my calculations, in order for the marketing plan to be successful, the clinic would need to see an additional 30 patients per day. It would give the clinic a $275 profit...

My plan of action to convince the current Republican-dominated legislature of Oklahoma to provide reparations to the descendants of the Tulsa Race Riot would be to first inform the legislature of what the Tulsa Race Riot was: The Tulsa Race Riot, sometimes referred to as the Tulsa Race Massacre, was a tragic incident that happened in 1921 in Tulsa, Oklahoma's Greenwood District. A young black male and a white woman had an altercation in an elevator that resulted in false allegations and heightened tensions between the black and white people, setting off the riot. Greenwood, a thriving African American community, was completely devastated by the ensuing rioting, which saw houses and businesses...

...The city of Oklahoma City has experienced a great loss this summer, they have lost something that can never be replaced and that they may never be able to recover from. This thing or should I say, this person was someone the city has built itself around and the person who represented all of what Oklahoma City stood for. Oklahoma City was honest, tough, both physically and mentally, and had the qualities of a great leader or so that’s what we thought this person stood for. This individual was the center piece of an entire city and was the hero and champion that Oklahoma City. As of now this person has turned his back on the city he once called home and has taken his talents to the west coast. This individual is none other than Kevin Durant. Just because Oklahoma City has lost their hometown hero doesn’t mean it has lost hope. Kevin Durant’s leaving gives the opportunity for another leader to step up and that person is the one and only, Russel Westbrook. “The Thunder's decision to sign Westbrook now comes out of necessity. Durant announced his intention to sign with the Golden State Warriors on July 4. In the month since, the Thunder have tried talking Westbrook into renegotiating and extending his contract, per Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com.” (Conway, 2016) The article was written by Tyler Conway states how the Oklahoma City Thunder finally came to a financial conclusion with their star point guard Russel Westbrook.

...The city I chose to do my project over is a city that I know fairly well, Tulsa Oklahoma. I chose to do Tulsa because I wanted to learn more about the history about the area that I grew up next to.

...The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 is considered to be one of the worst cases of racial violence in the history of the United States. It all started on May 30th, 1921, when a young black man, Dick Rowland entered an elevator being run by a 17-year-old white woman by the name of Sarah Page. The exact details of that short elevator ride are the cause of much speculation by it seems that as the elevator moved from the first to the third floor, the movement jostled Rowland into Page causing her to scream, “Rape!” So the question is, how can one singular scream directly ignite a small spark into a race fueled inferno? The events that transpired in Tulsa, Oklahoma began well before the first shots were fired or any bombs were dropped from above. This was...

...Tulsa Transition When I completed an associate degree and a certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at a ministry school in Pensacola, Florida, I returned to northwest Arkansas at age 20 to find work. I secured employment taking room reservations and working in the Guest Services department at a popular chain hotel. Although the local economy had experienced a sharp downturn, I expected that a better job would become available. However, I gained favor with leaders of the hotel’s parent corporation, and they suggested that I had a secure future with the business. I did not feel peace about staying with their organization and I prayed for God’s direction for the future. Oral Roberts University (ORU) had recruited me two years earlier, and they said my acceptance would stay active until I finished classes in Florida. I called the Tulsa-based school in January and requested to enroll in August courses. They agreed, and I looked forward to a new academic journey. However, my father did not support my decision to attend ORU, and in July, he asked me to consider his alma mater, the University of Arkansas in its place. I contacted his preferred school’s admissions department, and they assured me I could start Fall classes in Fayetteville. Around this time, my employer asked me to abandon college plans to continue working for his...
