Honoring Our North Tulsa Jewels
A Community Prayer Breakfast
Past event · October 8, 2026 · 9:00 – 11:00 AM CDT
We gathered at First Baptist Church North Tulsa for a community prayer breakfast honoring our North Tulsa Jewels — senior citizens 80 and older whose lives, faith, memories, and contributions are part of the story of North Tulsa. Together we shared breakfast, prayer, fellowship, and a morning of celebration as we gave our elders their flowers.

The Story
These are the seniors who carried this community through everything it has faced, who raised families, built businesses, and kept faith when it would have been easier not to. Many of them had never been publicly thanked for it. On Thursday, October 8th, we changed that.
From 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning at First Baptist Church North Tulsa, we gathered for a morning of prayer, celebration, and gratitude, honoring these elders by name, in front of the community they helped build.
The breakfast was also the beginning of something lasting. Black Wall Street Tours is recording and preserving the stories of North Tulsa's elders, so their voices, their histories, and their contributions are never lost. You can still be part of that work by giving directly to our preservation fund. Every contribution helps ensure these stories, and the people who carried them, are honored for good.
