Mission

TO SECURE JUSTICE AND REPARATIONS FOR THE GREENWOOD COMMUNITY AND DIASPORA THROUGH DIRECT SERVICES, PUBLIC EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • ADVOCACY. FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY - U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ). BUILDING ON YEARS OF GROUNDWORK, OUR NATIONAL ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN URGING THE DOJ TO OPEN A FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE MASSACRE UNDER THE EMMETT TILL COLD CASE ACT ACHIEVED CRITICAL TRACTION. THROUGH PERSISTENT CONGRESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT, COALITION BUILDING WITH NATIONAL PARTNERS, AND STRATEGIC PUBLIC CAMPAIGNS, THE DOJ CONDUCTED ITS FIRST-EVER FEDERAL REVIEW OF THE MASSACRE. THIS MILESTONE REPRESENTS A BREAKTHROUGH IN FEDERAL RECOGNITION OF THE HARM AND A STRONG TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF SURVIVOR- AND DESCENDANT- CENTERED ADVOCACY COMBINED WITH PUBLIC EDUCATION, BROAD-BASED ORGANIZING, AND PERSISTENCE IN HOLDING SYSTEMS ACCOUNTABLE. REPARATIONS PLAN PLEDGED BY THE CITY OF TULSA. IN CONSULTATION WITH THE LAST TWO LIVING SURVIVORS, LEGAL EXPERTS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, JUSTICE FOR GREENWOOD (JFG) CREATED A LOCAL REPARATIONS INITIATIVE CALLED PROJECT GREENWOOD. PROJECT GREENWOOD IS A COMPREHENSIVE 13-POINT PLAN THAT AIMS TO CONFRONT AND ADDRESS THE HISTORICAL HARM CAUSED BY THE MASSACRE. SHORTLY AFTER TULSA ELECTED ITS FIRST BLACK MAYOR, THE JFG TEAM MET WITH THE MAYOR AND HIS STAFF TO PRESENT AND ADVOCATE FOR PROJECT GREENWOOD. AFTER MONTHS OF DISCUSSIONS, ON JUNE 1, 2025, TULSA MAYOR MONROE NICHOLS OFFICIALLY SHARED HIS 'ROAD TO REPAIR' INITIATIVE AND ANNOUNCED THE CREATION OF THE GREENWOOD TRUST, A 105 MILLION PRIVATE CHARITABLE FUND DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING THE GENERATIONAL HARM CAUSED BY THE 1921 TULSA RACE MASSACRE. ADDITIONALLY, 5 OF THE 13 RECOMMENDATIONS IN JFG'S PROJECT GREENWOOD PLAN WERE FORMALLY INCORPORATED INTO THE MAYOR'S REPARATIONS INITIATIVE. THIS REMAINS HISTORIC THIS ALIGNMENT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF TRUTH-TELLING AND ORGANIZED ADVOCACY. SECURED THE ADOPTION OF THE OFFICIAL TULSA RACE MASSACRE REMEMBRANCE DAY. TO ENSURE THE HISTORY OF THE MASSACRE IS PRESERVED AND NEVER REPEATED, THE CITY OF TULSA ADOPTED JUSTICE FOR GREENWOOD'S PROJECT GREENWOOD RECOMMENDATION OF ESTABLISHING JUNE 1 AS THE OFFICIAL HOLIDAY DEDICATED TO REMEMBRANCE AND UNITY. THE INAUGURAL REMEMBRANCE DAY TOOK PLACE ON JUNE 1, 2025. IMPACT LITIGATION. BLACK INDIANS OF OKLAHOMA: TRIBAL RECOGNITION AND RESTORATION CITIZENSHIP. WE HAVE LED A MULTI-FRONT CAMPAIGN TO RESTORE THE CITIZENSHIP AND TRIBAL RECOGNITION OF BLACK CREEKS. JFG HAS ALSO MOBILIZED DESCENDANT NETWORKS FOR PUBLIC-EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS, ENSURING THAT LEGAL STRATEGY, POLITICAL ADVOCACY, AND COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT MOVED IN LOCKSTEP TOWARD FULL CITIZENSHIP, EQUAL SERVICES, AND CULTURAL DIGNITY FOR BLACK INDIANS IN OKLAHOMA. IN JULY 2025, THE MUSCOGEE (CREEK) NATION SUPREME COURT ISSUED A LANDMARK RULING, 5-0, AFFIRMING THAT THE NATION'S CITIZENSHIP BOARD ACTED "CONTRARY TO LAW" WHEN IT REFUSED TO APPLY ARTICLE II OF THE 1866 TREATY AND DENIED CITIZENSHIP TO BLACK CREEK FREEDMEN DESCENDANTS. THE COURT DECLARED ALL "BY BLOOD" LANGUAGE IN THE MCN CONSTITUTION "UNLAWFUL AND VOID AB INITIO", AFFIRMING THAT THE 1866 TREATY MUST BE FOLLOWED. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 46 YEARS, THIS RULING MEANS CITIZENSHIP MUST BE GRANTED TO FREEDMEN DESCENDANTS. THIS RULING IMMEDIATELY IMPACTS THOUSANDS OF BLACK CREEK FREEDMEN DESCENDANTS, WHO NOW ALSO HAVE FULL ACCESS TO BENEFITS SUCH AS FREE HEALTHCARE, CASH STIPENDS, HOUSING, COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS, CLOTHING FOR THEIR SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN, LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL ASSISTANCE, ACCESS TO GAMING REVENUES, AND SO MUCH MORE. THIS RULING IS A PIVOTAL STEP IN CORRECTING GENERATIONS OF EXCLUSION AND INJUSTICE. NEW PROGRAM. JUSTICE FOR GREENWOOD HIRED A MANAGING ATTORNEY TO BUILD OUR FUTURE LEGACY PROTECTION PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LASTING IMPACTS OF THE 1921 TULSA RACE MASSACRE WAS THE DESTRUCTION AND DISPOSSESSION OF BLACK WEALTH, LAND, AND PROPERTY. SURVIVORS AND DESCENDANTS HAVE FACED A CENTURY OF LEGAL AND SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO RECLAIMING WHAT WAS LOST. IN 2026, JUSTICE FOR GREENWOOD WILL LAUNCH ITS LEGACY PROTECTION PROGRAM THAT WILL PROVIDE BASIC ESTATE PLANNING, REPRESENTATION IN UNCONTESTED PROBATES, LEGAL SERVICES IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE NUISANCE MATTERS, AND EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS ON THESE TOPICS. EDUCATION & TRUTH-TELLING PROGRAM. WE LEVERAGED OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND WEEKLY NEWSLETTER TO AMPLIFY THE TRUTH, EDUCATE, RAISE AWARENESS, AND MOBILIZE SUPPORTERS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CONDUCTED OVER 150 PRINT, RADIO, TV, PUBLIC APPEARANCES, AND PODCAST INTERVIEWS TO EDUCATE AND INFORM THE BROADER PUBLIC. WE ALSO EXECUTIVE-PRODUCED OUR FIRST AWARD- WINNING MINI-DOCUMENTARY, GREENWOOD IS STILL BURNING.
