"OMG!! This museum is amazing!! I visited the museum while on my layover and I’m so glad I did. I did the self tour with my crew member, but I will definitely go back for the guided tour with Ms. Margo. The tour opens up with Maya Angelou reading her poem And Still I Rise, which is a testament to the residents of Greenwood Ave aka Black Wall Street. There was so much that I didn’t know about the violent events that took place on May - Jun1, . It was heartbreaking to see how racial hatred built on a lie, burned down the prominent Greenwood District. This exhibit is a must see and I highly recommend the guided tour with Ms. Margo!! She took the time to give us more insight into the tragic events that took place that day. She was so nice and very knowledgeable about the events that took place during . I learned so much that day. I can’t wait to go back and visit again. Please visit and support Greenwood Rising, you will not be disappointed."

"This was such an amazing, eye opening, emotional experience. We were lucky to have Margo Taylor guide us through the museum. She kept us engaged, was so knowledgeable, and allowed us to feel and show our emotions while talking about race. If you come to Tulsa it is only right you learn the history and ugly truth of racism here. It can be heavy so be prepared to feel these emotions, but know you are in a safe space."

"This is an absolutely wonderful little museum. Very high tech and well put together. Margo was our docent and she was amazing. Tour was supposed to go minutes and went double that because she was so good at giving valuable information. I wouldn’t want a tour from anyone else I think. This is a very emotional museum. But one everyone he cares about history should see."

"I was born a white woman. I didnt get a say, just like us all. Over the course of my years in this life I've been fortunate enough to be friends with and loved by people of every color. I've encountered true great humanity, and I've experienced pure evil. Neither good nor evil has one specific color. Unfortunately, neither does ignorance. We have to talk about the things that hurt. The wounds in our world and in our country that cannot heal unless they can be openly acknowledged. This museum helps us to have that conversation. If what those people in the Greenwood district lost years ago has any value, it's the value to spark new conversation now. In an advanced and more civilized time, is what we would hope. Be part of the conversation and the solution. Visit this museum and other historical reminders around the world that tell us the horrors that will unfold each time we forget that everyone is equal. What happened in those Tulsa massacre moments could have been avoided if jealousy and segregation hadn't been allowed to flourish. Imagine where the whole country could be if we would've been willing to learn from Greenwood instead of committed to burning it down. #aclarifiedwoman #bepartofmyworld #herbeautifulblendedfamily"

"Greenwood Rising is an incredible museum and everyone should come and learn about what happened here. They don't just show what happened during the massacre, they also show what preceded and what followed up to present day. The museum is free so there's no barrier to entry but please donate if you can."
