Funeral program of Deaconess Josie Ware Lewis

About the Project

Educator and activist Eddie Faye Gates, who has been instrumental in recording the history of Black Tulsa and keeping the memory of the Tulsa Race Massacre and its legacy unburied, collected these funeral programs in the 1990s and 2000s. These funeral programs for Tulsa Race Massacre survivors and for prominent Black Tulsans help tell a story of the resiliency of Black Tulsans in the aftermath of the 1921 Race Massacre and through the 20th century. Help us transcribe this funeral program to learn more about Black community members in Tulsa.
