About this listen
All aboard for Randolph Jefferson Author's journey from Georgia to the great and thriving Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, circa 1921.
Roo, as he is affectionately known by family and friends, experiences a dual journey: the conscious journey via the Atlantic Railroads and the eerie journey through his dreary and murky dream state. Both of these "pathways" ultimately lead him to the same profound and soul-jarring destination—a catastrophic event that all but decimates a successful Black community where many of its residents earned more that the average United States citizen...only 56 years after the abolition of slavery. Please be seated and have your ticket available for collection: All aboard for "Tuuulsa!" - Tulsa, Oklahoma...and beyond.
