Tulsa Race Massacre
Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) today announced it is contributing
$250,000 to Greenwood Rising, a new center in Tulsa’s historic
Greenwood District that honors the victims and survivors of the
Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 and the legacy of the city’s Black Wall
Street.
The center is being dedicated June 2, nearly 100 years to the
day after one of the worst acts of racial violence in U.S. history
left hundreds of Black residents dead and much of the Greenwood
District, then a thriving neighborhood known as Black Wall Street,
in ashes.
“Greenwood Rising will be a place where Tulsans and people from
all over the world can come together to learn about the 1921 Tulsa
Race Massacre, honor the victims and survivors, and celebrate the
community’s rich heritage and resilience,” said Sonya Reed, Senior
Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Communications for
Phillips 66. “Phillips 66 is proud to support this important
effort.”
The Phillips 66 contribution will fund educational programming
at Greenwood Rising, a nonprofit and legacy project of the 1921
Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission that aims to draw upon
lessons from the past to inspire meaningful and sustainable change.
It will support field trips for local area public schools,
volunteerism and the creation of educational material.
“It is important that we maintain the momentum of 1921 Tulsa
Race Massacre education beyond the centennial year,” said Phil
Armstrong, Project Director for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre
Centennial Commission and Interim Director of Greenwood Rising. “We
are grateful to Phillips 66, which is committing support to ensure
that the tragedy of the massacre and resilience of Greenwood are
never forgotten.”
