  • Tracing Our Roots: Oklahoma's Historical Black Towns Tour
    Vol. 43, No. 1 Published monthly by the Oklahoma Historical Society, serving since 1893 January 2012 Tracing Our Roots: Oklahoma’s Historical Black Towns Tour The Langston University Marching and Jazz Band will perform at the Oklahoma History Center on Saturday, February 4, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. The Langston University Department of Music and the Oklahoma Historical Society are partnering to present Tracing Our Roots: Oklahoma’s Historically Black Towns Tour. This is a ninety-minute black history program that will travel throughout the state. The program will feature music performed under the direction of the Langston University Band Director Larry Birden, Jr. Also, the history presentation by Bruce Fisher will trace the migration of African Americans to Oklahoma and the social and political climate that led to the establishment of historically all-black towns. Rare film footage of rural black communities in the late 1920s from the OHS Currie Ballard Collection will be shown. The film footage was originally shot by the Langston University Band Reverend Solomon Sir Jones of Muskogee from 1924 to 1929. Oklahoma historian Currie Ballard recently discovered the film. In November 2011 a Yale University archivist showed footage of the historic film at the Association of Moving Images Archivist Conference. Other than Yale University, the Oklahoma Historical Society is the only institution that owns this vintage film footage. The statewide tour of this performance will resume on February 15, 2012, and end February 19, 2012. Langston University students will visit Tatum, Taft, Redbird, Rentiesville, Boley, Booksville, and Clearview. Performances are planned for Muskogee, Boley, Ardmore, and Shawnee.
