This is Greenwood Rising with Whitney Stauffer & Stephen Dinnen

On this episode I chatted with Stephen and Whitney about their involvement in Greenwood Rising. Greenwood Rising is the legacy project of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission. We talk about all the details in the building and how it remembers the victors and survivors.  “Greenwood Rising will educate Oklahomans and Americans about the Race Massacre and its impact on the state and Nation; remember its victims and survivors, and create an environment conducive to fostering sustainable entrepreneurship and heritage tourism within the Greenwood District specifically, and North Tulsa generally.”” — Senator Matthews Whitney Stauffer, partner, Selser Schaefer Architects Stephen Dinnen AIA, LEED AP, designer, Selser Schaefer Architects (lead designer for Greenwood Rising)  Selser Schaefer Architects: www.selserschaefer.com Selser Schaefer Architects is a leading firm founded in Tulsa, OK in 1993 with a philosophy of “people-first design.” Its 32+ employees focus on creating a thoughtful and immersive array of spaces, visual elements and project types specifically for the people and communities who experience them, interact with them, and connect with each other because of them.
