"Walking on historic Greenwood, I was flooded with emotions. I had been to Oklahoma many times before as a little girl for family reunions. This was my first time returning as an adult... knowing about Black Wall Street. This time I was telling the story of descendants and other’s journeys during the commemoration of the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Our lives are a series of moments that inform how we see. I will share some of those powerful moments through my lens." - Cheriss May
