The “Greenwood Ave Project” documentary sheds light on the Tulsa community after the 1921 Massacre in which the filmmaker Terry Baccus and executive producer Karen Reese have shown the aftermath of the Massacre in such a realistic way that it will bring visceral, yet vulnerable emotion to the audience, inspiring a primary film theme “From the People, For the People”.
Executive Producer Karen Reese has voiced, “Our project is valuable because it tells the stories of people from the Greenwood community after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, portraying all the layers of the realities of effects birthed from this horrific turn of events suffered by the Black People that were living in Tulsa during that time and for years to come.”
We will tell the story of the history of Greenwood to thousands of people that never knew about the Massacre. We are also educating people on the horrific aftermath of this event and we explain what has been done after the rebuilding of Greenwood in 1925.
