Dr. Bob Blackburn, Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society, joins Wayland & Cece for a special four parts series entitled “Race & Oklahoma History”. In this second episode, he shares a story titled “Crossroads of the Frontier: B.C. Franklin and the Merging of Two African American Communities." This story follows the journey of a pioneering African-American family’s journey through the tumultuous early days of Oklahoma. There’s so much in this episode, from all-black towns, perseverance after the Tulsa Race Massacre, and a historical family legacy that produced one of our nation’s most revered texts on the history of African-Americans.
