WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
We understand that racism is such a harsh and polarizing topic that most people choose not to address it. However, racism has been a problem in this nation since before its foundation, and this is why no one in the United States is immune to its effects.
Tulsa, OK, is the place where racism had its deadliest attack, the 1921 Race Massacre. We believe that because of this history, Oklahoma is the place that will spark the change and create a model to end racism in America
We understand it takes many different approaches to defeat racism. No single person or organization has all the answers, time, or the human power to do all the work by themselves.
It takes us all

A LASTING JOURNEY
#racismstinks is maturing and coming to understand that our role in the efforts to eradicate racism out of the systems and institutions that are supposed to make our country great for all people is not one of “follow us as we lead,” but “join hands with us as we all cross this uncharted road.”
We plan on expanding our reach to other highly affected areas of the country with hands-on involvement.
