This experiential learning course leverages Babson's rich connections to Tulsa, Oklahoma to study the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, its history and its profound impact in our current moment. Students will learn first about the Creek Nation of Native people who first chose the name Tulsa, meaning "Old Town," and chart the city's development into a thriving African American community in the 1920s. We will move into our current moment by studying the overlapping visions of justice that Tulsa’s people work toward today-including justice for Native and Black people, gender justice, climate and food justice. We will tour local businesses and the Historically Black Langston University, mapping our own ideas about community and the role of business networks in building community resilience and justice.
