“Before They Die!” Premieres at the Tulsa PAC
On Oct. 19, Tulsa’s history will come alive with the premiere of the documentary Before They Die!, the newest in-depth look at the Tulsa Race Riot.
This compelling film about the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot vividly depicts what happens to a community when intolerance and distrust rule. The documentary’s epilogue shows how the Tulsa community is coming together to address serious issues of racism and bigotry and to remember the important lessons of local history.
The screening will be held at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center (Chapman Music Hall) on Sunday, Oct. 19, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $25.
The film is presented by the Metropolitan Urban League, Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice (OCCJ), YWCA Tulsa, and Mayor Kathy Taylor. The presentation will feature a special guest appearance by Alfre Woodard.
