BUILT FROM THE FIRE | Victor Luckerson

Show notes

Joining us is Victor Luckerson, the author of a book that tells the origins and wonders of the Greenwood neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His book, Built from the Fire, is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the power and importance of our historically Black neighborhoods and in learning how to protect and preserve their place in our cities. Victor is a journalist whose work has appeared in Time magazine, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Wired, and Smithsonian. 

The conversation explores the themes of community support, carrying the torch of change, understanding the shaping of communities, recognizing neighborhoods as living ecosystems, and gratitude.

Listen in as we talk about the neighborhood that refused to be erased.
