First Black Wall Street Babv Paoeant
slated tor Saturday. March 18
Rebuilding the image of a community and restoring self-
pride in its residents is not as easy as you might think, nor is
it as difficult as some might have you believe. All it takes is
dedication and commitment from a few who love the people
and the community thev are trying to rebuild. And that is the
purpose of the 1st Black Wall Street Baby Pageant to be held
March 18, at location to be announced from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00
p.m. Al-Nisa, OSU Tulsa and the Greenwood Chamber of
Commerce believe that we can restore north Tulsa back to the
spirit and people that created Black Wall Street.
The negative image associated with the North Tulsa com-
munity and its youth must be an issue that is discussed by
Qty Council, religious/spiritual organizations, educators,
business owners, parents and the youth! If we truly want to
see a positive change happen in north Tulsa we must start
witfi the future of north Tulsa, which is its youth. This event
is open to children 6 months to 6 years-old and all who wish
to be a part of this wonderful beginning. So bring the family
down and enjoy yourself at the 1st Annual Black Wall Street
Baby Pageant!
