Wado to these great young leaders!

We had the best time this weekend at the Black Wall Street Legacy Festival in Tulsa! I was blessed with the opportunity to provide a land acknowledgment in Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District at Langston University, Oklahoma’s only HBCU, on Saturday evening. It’s important that we never forget the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and how it impacted the victims — and continues to impact the descendants of those targeted in that tragedy.

This morning my family and I helped send off the 2026 Remember The Removal Bike Ride cyclists as they head to Cherokee, North Carolina, to join riders from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians before they officially start the ride on June 1. These 12 individuals will spend the next few weeks retracing the grueling journey our ancestors were forced to endure on foot more than 180 years ago.

Join me in sending these riders, along with their dedicated support staff, lots of prayers and love as they begin their journey.
