Juneteenth: 'Black Lives Matter' painted overnight on street in Tulsa's Greenwood District, celebration begins


By Jimmie Tramel Tulsa World 3 hrs ago


Update: There are visible reminders that the Juneteenth celebration is being staged during a pandemic.

Signs were posted to let people know that, by attending the event, they voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure of COVID-19.

Signs that said “thank you for practicing social distancing” also were present along the festival route.

A Stay Healthy Zone table at the corner of Greenwood Avenue and Cameron Street gave away face masks and shirts to attendees while also making hand sanitizer available.

The complimentary face masks (26,000, according to a table staffer) were made available to attendees through a partnership with the non-profit organization, Until We Do It.

Representatives from the Stay Healthy Zone table roamed the festival grounds with bags of masks to distribute them to attendees.
