\nOne Tulsa, LLC and its founder\u00a0Fred Jones\u00a0is all about unity in the community and today announced more details about the multi-generational, multi-genre compilation album\u00a01921 The Black Wall Street Music Project.\u00a0The project first envisioned three years ago, recently kicked into high gear, with local\u00a0artists joining the mission to bring a spotlight to the music and messages of the descendants of the Greenwood community.
\nTo mark the Centennial of the\u00a0Tulsa Race Massacre\u00a0on May 31st, One Tulsa will preview the album with dual singles highlighting both the violent history as well as the inspiration to be gained by witnessing the spirit of a thriving black community in the time of a segregated America.\u00a0OmaleyB “Kerosene<\/em>\u00a0ft.\u00a0Steph Simon” and\u00a0Doc Shaw\u00a0“The Sun Will Rise Again<\/em>\u00a0ft.\u00a0Lester Shaw\u00a0and\u00a0Retsel Shaw” will launch under the banner of The Black Wall Street Music Project on Friday May 28th wherever digital music is available.
\nThe project, which was conceived and polished during months of formal and informal meetings on Greenwood Ave at the Black Wall Street Liquid Lounge Coffee Shop speaks to the widely held idea that it’s time to shine a light on the artists of Tulsa for whom the messages in the music don’t begin and end with the tragedy of the Race Massacre Centennial.
\nFred Jones serves as Executive Producer for The Black Wall Street Music Project along with Project Managers Tulsa’s Guy Troupe and music industry veteran Thornell Jones, Jr. Strategic partners include The Hille Foundation, Osage Casinos, The Wayman Tisdale Foundation, and Spirit Bank.
\n“I truly feel blessed to be alive for such a time as this on Greenwood, as we look to do our part for a “better Greenwood” I sincerely hope and pray that this music project enhances the healing of this great city, state and nation.”
