This residency centers around a documentary made from home movies that depict what the survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre did to rebuild their homes, businesses, and community from ashes. Students will learn about the tenacity, dedication, and fortitude of Tulsans in the Greenwood area who refused to give up and about the flourishing businesses they built, reflective of many African American communities in the United States during this historical time period (1948-1952). Students will research successful businesses, compare and contrast different businesses, role play as a business owner, and create a model of their own business, complete with advertisement flyers and newspaper ads. Over the course of this residency, students will learn leadership skills, how to collaborate, and the importance of civic competence.
