Tulsa Church Donates Offering To Greenwood Cultural Center

A Tulsa church has given its worship service collections from February 26, 2012 to the Greenwood Cultural Center.

Last month, we told you about the center and its fight to stay open.

State of Oklahoma budget cuts and a tough economic climate have devastated many youth programs that were once offered at the Center at 322 North Greenwood.

About $100,000 has been raised to help build the center in North Tulsa.

Church officials say they believe in Center's mission and sponsor and promote educational and cultural events that preserve African American heritage and pays tribute to the history of the Greenwood District.

The executive director of the Center, Frances Jordan-Rakestraw says All Souls contribution will assist in supporting ongoing programs and gives hope to the Center in restoring other children's programs.
