Deep Greenwood is a series of five free community discussions, exhibits and performances building off the history captured in Victor Luckerson’s "Built From the Fire" about Tulsa’s Greenwood district.

This free event will be a discussion between Author of "Built From the Fire" Victor Luckerson and Greenwood photographer Don Thompson will discuss the personal and policy impacts of urban renewal, juxtaposing visuals from government sources (redlining and urban renewal maps) with Thompson’s on-the-ground photography of how Greenwood residents experienced those tumultuous years. The Lingering Legacies of Urban Renewal will cover chapters 16-20 of "Built From the Fire".
