TALK OF GREENWOOD


Magic City Books, Rudisill Library, And Small Wonders Academy To Sponsor Program

Charity Barton, author and former Tulsa Public Schools educator, recently announced the publication of her new book, “We Did That! – A Black History Children’s Book,” which will be the featured book for a children’s program at Magic City Books, 221 E. Archer St., on June 22 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. 

“We Did That! – A Black History Children’s Book” takes readers on an immersive journey into the triumphs of Black people, presented in a vibrant and engaging format. Barton, a TEDx Talk presenter and podcast host uses the paperback book to offer puzzle pages, coloring activities, stories with comprehension questions, and competitive challenges. Barton presents various opportunities for “readers of all ages (to) explore pivotal moments in Black history while actively participating in the stories.” 

“The event promises to be a fun and educational afternoon filled with activities for kids, including interactive sessions for both children and adults, snacks, a raffle, and more!”, Barton shared. 

Event sponsors are Magic City Books, Rudisill Regional Library, and Small Wonders Academy. 

As a former Los Angeles Unified School District and Tulsa Public Schools educator, Barton was inspired by her students’ passion, natural talents, and curiosity. She observed that students who were sure of themselves engaged differently in the classroom compared to those lacking a sense of belonging. She is committed to setting every student up for success by fostering a strong sense of identity and self-belief through her work. 

Barton is a seasoned communicator and advocate for diverse narratives, with three degrees in communications and a passion for storytelling. Her interests span travel, self-care, Black history, media literacy, public speaking, and dreaming big. She hosts a podcast show, “Only in Your Dreams,” a platform exploring the boundless possibilities of dreaming big. She has also served as an in-game host for the University of Tulsa Athletics and a live host for TU Giving Day.
