In the week before President Donald J. Trump’s kick-off rally in Tulsa, there was valid concern what the trip might mean for our city.

Tulsa and other cities in Oklahoma joined the nation in voicing their anger and pent up frustration with what appears to be a police state out of control.

Tulsa stood shoulder to shoulder with every race to voice opposition to police violence and the need for racial unity.

The sight of Confederate military figures who sought to maintain slavery and stood against a United States government are coming down in the wake of racial discord that has spilled over into all areas of life after the cruel death of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police.

Others are taking this moment in time to challenge Native American Mascots and the disgust most Indian people feel at the sight of the objectification of their race.
