Black History Saturdays is a community education program for the entire family.
05/08/2026
In celebration of our graduates, there will be no Black History Saturdays sessions during the month of May.
With Langston University’s graduation and others happening throughout the month, we want to take this time to honor and uplift our students and families.
🎉 Congratulations to all of our graduates, we are so proud of you!
Stay tuned for a special Juneteenth session….more details coming soon.
Did you know… the lock on your door traces back to a Black inventor? 🔐
At Black History Saturdays, we don’t just talk about history, we experience it.
Dr. Alicia Odewale broke down the story of Osborne Dorsey, a formerly enslaved Black man who patented the modern door lock in 1878. Think about that… something we use every single day for safety and security was created by a Black innovator whose name most of us were never taught.
This is why we do this work.
Our children deserve to know that Black people didn’t just survive history we shaped it. From the doors we walk through to the systems we’re still fighting to rebuild.
At Black History Saturdays, we are unlocking truth, one story at a time. 🗝️
Come learn with us. Bring your family. This is for all of us. Donate today https://givebutter.com/QcLHMV

This Saturday, we’re not just teaching Black history… we’re tasting it.
Our Black History Saturdays menu is curated by Chef Ant, a proud Gullah Geechee native from South Carolina and member of the Chef Kulture Collective led by Chef Chad Cherry. He brings the flavors of the Lowcountry straight to Greenwood honoring the traditions, resilience, and brilliance of our people through food.
This is what makes Black History Saturdays different.
We don’t just talk about history we experience it.
Join us at 9AM at our new home, Langston University – Tulsa Campus, in the heart of Greenwood.
Breakfast and lunch are FREE.
Classes are Pre-K through Adults. Also, FREE!
Come hungry for food.
Come hungry for truth.

As we march, parade, and quote Dr. King,
Black History is being restricted in Oklahoma public schools.
HB 1775 limits how Black history, racism, and lived experiences can be taught.
Some people experience history.
Some people make it.
I choose to make it.
Celebration without truth is performance. Dr. King didn’t just dream….he organized, disrupted, and demanded justice.
That’s why Black History Saturdays exists. We teach what has been silenced. We protect what’s being erased.
Black History is not optional.
It is American history.
It is OUR history.
