Tulsa Pride Month, $100M Race Massacre Trust, Cherokee Nation Election, Job Corps Closures - Tulsa Local Pulse June 3, 2025
Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
Pride Month is in full swing across Tulsa with numerous events, celebrations, and festivals planned throughout June. The city is showcasing its support for the LGBTQ+ community with parades and special events, while also highlighting LGBTQ+ owned businesses and resources around town.
In city news, Mayor Monroe Nichols has announced a major initiative addressing the impacts of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The mayor is proposing a $100 million private trust aimed at providing scholarships and housing assistance to descendants of massacre victims. Rather than direct cash payments, the plan focuses on improving buildings and revitalizing Tulsa's north side, with about $60 million dedicated to this effort. The trust aims to have most funding secured by June 2026.
Looking at governance, the Tulsa City Council has scheduled its regular meeting for tomorrow, June 4, where they'll be discussing several important matters including the Kendall Whittier Improvement District assessment roll. A public hearing on this issue is set for June 11.
Also tomorrow, the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission will hold their meeting at 1 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. If you have opinions on planning and development matters, this is your opportunity to participate.
In tribal government news, three candidates are competing for the open Cherokee Nation District 5 Tribal Council seat, which covers northern Tulsa, Sperry, and Owasso. Ashley Grant, Frank Whitlock, and Charles Wilkes are vying for the position in the election this Saturday, June 7. The winner will help oversee the nation's $3.6 billion budget.
On a more somber note, investigators have identified Parker Brown as the individual killed in what they're describing as an ambush shooting in Tulsa. Police have been investigating his criminal background as they work to understand the circumstances.
We're also following concerning employment news as the U.S. Department of Labor has ordered the shutdown of Job Corps Centers nationwide, including three in Oklahoma. Students at these centers, which provide education and job training for low-income young adults, now have until June 13 to vacate campuses. Community members in Guthrie are expressing concern about the impact this will have on local organizations and the futures of affected students and staff.
The forecast shows typical early June temperatures, so dress for warmth if you're heading out to any community events today.
This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
