Tulsa Black Wall Street Legacy Festival

ROLE: Event Producer & Stage Management

The Soze Agency

EVENT OVERVIEW
In partnership with the Terence Crutcher Foundation, The Soze Agency had the privilege of co-producing the Black Wall Street Legacy Fest commemorating the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre in May 2021. Attended by over 50,000 people and broadcasted live, Soze helped to produce a multi-day summit and public festival in Tulsa’s historic Greenwood neighborhood.

We curated various programmed events within the summit and public festival that featured community leaders, artists, politicians, and members of the Tulsa community. All of the programming explored urgent issues, ranging from the needs of those still living with the everyday consequences of the massacre, to the erasure of essential history, to the state and future of Black Wall Street.

Joining Soze in the uplifting of Black Wall Street massacre survivors, Mother Randel, Viola Fletcher and Hughes Van Ellis, were Alfre Woodard, Jay Ellis, Rep. Cori Bush, Ben Crump, Brittany Packnett-Cunningham, Pastor Mike Todd, and many more!

MY ROLE
On the ground, I meticulously managed the stage, ensuring that sound and tech were running accordingly. I kept a keen eye on having the appropriate graphics displayed on screen, aligning them with the run of show.
