Plans for John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park in Tulsa Go Forward in U.S. House

28 September 2010

Plans to designate the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park in Tulsa as part of the National Park System received a boost last Thursday when Oklahoma Republican John Sullivan introduced a bill to conduct a feasibility study on incorporating the park into the NPS.  The park commemorates the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot and is named for Tulsa native John Hope Franklin, the late Duke historian and Presidential Medal of Honor winner.  Dignitaries will assemble on October 27 to dedicate the park in his honor.
