Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I still need to edit the rest of the video from our cross country. trip. It'll get done...at some point lol. Thanks for tuning in!

Thank you for visiting my home town, learning about its secret, and showcasing the magnitude of how much was lost. We appreciate you sharing your experience on your platform. We go home as often as we possibly can.

Our pleasure! We enjoyed our stay and specifically chose Tulsa because of its history. It is a horrible story that must be remembered and a testament to the resilience of our community.

Thank you guys! I'll be adding this to my travel plans for next year! My wife and I live in California. We purchased a converted Ram Promaster 3500 last June, and have taken a few trips (New Jersey (July `22), Texas (Dec `22), Lake Tahoe (July `23), and to local beaches practically every weekend! We own a gym so we are not (yet) able to take trips longer than 7 days. By the way, our van is named Turtleshell, what a coincidence!

Great minds think alike lol! Wishing you the best on your excursions.

I am from the South so front porches have always been staple so I understand the serenity you feel. I grew up in a two story house, were we have a porch down stairs as well as upstairs, and I still sit up there when I visit my mom's house. I love the historical facts that you have added making it also a teachable moment.

I just learned about this a couple of years ago. Blows my mind. Definitely never taught this in any US history class. I now live in small city founded by a black man, Centralia, WA. We had our first Juneteenth celelebtation this year and one of the presentations was about our founder. Although we learned a lot about the city's founder, George Washington, when we first moved here, I was astounded to learn of the ingratitude of the early white community. (Guess it was my white privilege blinders.) Unfortunately, a lot of those attitudes are still here. Hopefully I'll be able to help out with the event next year. Love your channel. Love your porch mindfulness.

Never heard of Centralia. Will look that up! The thing I find so ironic about the current efforts to get rid of so-called "CRT" in US education is that the version of history that's been taught in public schools has always been so grossly sanitized. There are countless stories just like Tulsa. Entire towns wiped out. And stories just like Centralia, where the contributions of Black and other people of color are simply omitted regardless of how fundamental those contributions are to the events that took place. It is mind-blowing, and despicable, to go to school for 12+ years and know so little about what has happened (and is happening) in the place we call home.

@@WayOutRailroad There is a Wikipedia page about Mr. Washington now but, there is more to the story. When Black History Month started, my first thought was, "This is US history!" Now I've learned about the UDC - The United Daughters of the Confederacy - and its impact on school text books. SMH!

Omg I love in WA and have been to Centralia many times. It kinda has racist vibes so I don’t stay long just go there for the outlets. Nice to learn it was founded by a black man though, that’s amazing.

Very interesting history

Thank you looking forward to visiting there, I never knew what really happened, we have to respect and embrace our history, black people spend thousands going to Europe to look at and study it's history yet still experience exclusion. It's sad.

We enjoy traveling internationally when we can, but there are so many great places to visit domestically that get overlooked. We encourage people to hit the road and roam the US.

This was so vicious because of envy.

Yes, vicious indeed. And Tulsa is just one of many bustling Black towns that suffered the same fate.

I love your van but i need a TV an what anout jeating

Thought about installing a TV, but it would just take up unnecessary space. Plus, we can always use the projector if we want to do a movie night. One of our main reasons for traveling is to be outside in nature. So we don't miss the TV when we're on the road.

There are countless stories like it that unfortunately are not well known. In order to avoid repeating the worst of the past, we need to acknowledge and learn lessons from what has happened.
