Crown Hill Foundation Speaker Series: Ever Increasing and Overlapping Circles - The Community Team Recovering the Victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre

Date: Friday, February 28, 2025

Time: 6 PM

Location: Indiana Landmarks, 1201 Central Avenue, Indianapolis

In 2018, then Tulsa, OK mayor G.T. Bynum initiated the first physical investigation into the recovery of the victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Join the panelists - consisting of those working on the project and descendants of survivors of the massacre - as they discuss the project’s goals, the identification of unmarked graves, interpretation of the site and violent events, and the recognition of this part of Tulsa’s past. Much like Indianapolis’ Greenlawn Cemetery in downtown Indianapolis, now undergoing archaeology and interpretation, Indianapolis can learn much from the work being completed in Tulsa. 

Cosponsors: Crown Hill Foundation, Indiana Landmarks, and City of Indianapolis

Tickets are FREE, but limited. This special Speaker Series will be held at Indiana Landmarks, located at 1201 Central Avenue, Indianapolis.
