"Tulsa Massacre Survivor Jeanne Goodwin"

The Long Road

About this episode

"My father said that he sent us to school to learn knowledge, not behavior. He said it was his job to teach us manners and good behavior." -Jeanne Goodwin

In 1997, Tulsa historian and retired African-American educator Eddie Faye Gates published a historic book on the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre entitled, "They Came Searching: How Blacks Sought the Promised Land in Tulsa." This important book contains many interviews with the 1921 survivors. This was one of the interviews that I wanted to share in its entirety because I found it to be quite moving and full of wisdom and guidance. Jeanne Goodwin was a career teacher in Tulsa and a member of the Tulsa Historical Hall of Fame. #thelongroad
