BOOKS FOR THOUGHT SERIES
Books for Thought introduces the local community to literary themes and scholars that engage them in critical thought, encourage the examination of race in our society, and motivate them to continue learning. All major topics will be centered on the Black population in relation to social, economic, and political themes. This initiative will host gatherings throughout the year in and outside of the History Center in accessible Tulsa locations. The schedule of events will include a speaker (author), audience Q&A, and a book signing. Some sessions will be modified by offering special benefits to individuals who have committed to a membership with the History Center. This series exists within an ecosystem, encouraging attendees to build an ongoing relationship with the Museum while intentionally engaging our organizational partners. Support from our neighbors is critical to the success of this program, as they will help inform our audiences, moderators, locations, and speakers.
