All Souls Memorial Sermon & 1921 Race Riot

Marlin Lavanhar is the minister of All Souls Unitarian Church, 2900 S. Peoria,  in Tulsa.  He is the president of the Tulsa Metropoitan Ministry.

Many people have asked for copies of the sermon I delivered last Sunday about the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot and the connection with Memorial Day.  I offered it, in part, as a precursor to the John Hope Franklin Center symposium this week in Tulsa.  It is a 15 minute sermon and below you will find links to video and audio versions online.  I have also attached a written version.  Please feel free to pass these links on to others who you think might be interested.  It is a call for us, as a community, to discover a collective meaning and legacy out of these events.

Below you will find the links to both our video podcast and audio podcast of the sermon:
