Prisoners In Hominy Plant Trees In Honor Of Tulsa Race Massacre Victims

Prisoners at the Dick Connor Correctional Center in Hominy are planting elm trees to honor the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre.

They said the project gives them a sense of hope and a sense of community.

"To be a part of something so impactful and then to one day see these trees growing it means everything to me it gives me a lot of vision and a lot of hope,” Darrell Elliot said.

Once the plants get a bit bigger, they’ll be sent to Carver Middle School in Tulsa. The students will take care of them until they can be planted in the Greenwood District.
