Happy Birthday!

Today we honor William A. Hinton — a visionary scientist whose breakthroughs changed public health forever. He developed his groundbreaking blood test for detecting syphilis in 1927, creating a faster and more reliable method at a time when the disease was widespread and often deadly. His work was later adopted by the U.S. Public Health Service as a standard diagnostic tool, helping improve early detection and treatment nationwide. This innovation holds particular significance for Oklahoma, where public health efforts—both historically and today—have relied on accurate testing to prevent the spread of syphilis and protect futuToday we honor William A.

Happy Thanksgiving from Greenwood Rising

Today, as our team reflects on the season of gratitude, we honor the long-standing traditions of Thanksgiving within the Black community—traditions rooted in faith, resilience, and the power of coming together.

Since 1777, when the first national day of thanks was declared, Black communities have shaped this holiday through church gatherings, powerful sermons, and celebrations that held space for both struggle and hope. Even during slavery, Thanksgiving became a time to pray for freedom, rejoice in harvest, and strengthen the bonds that kept families and communities alive.

After the Emancipation Proclamation and the first official Thanksgiving in 1863, newly freed Black families used this season to reconnect, rebuild, and look toward a future shaped by courage and unity. Leaders like Reverend Benjamin Arnett reminded us to meet the challenges ahead with strength, purpose, and unwavering faith.

At Greenwood Rising, we carry these traditions of resilience and community forward.

Today and every day, we are thankful for our community—your support, your voices, and your commitment to truth and healing.

From our Greenwood Rising family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. 🧡

We pause today to honor Mother Viola Ford Fletcher — a torchbearer of truth, justice, and unwavering courage.

Mother Fletcher carried the stories of Greenwood with grace and determination, ensuring that the world could no longer look away from the truth of 1921. Through her voice, generations found clarity, accountability, and the momentum to keep pushing for justice.

As we reflect on her passing, our hearts are with the Fletcher family and all who held her dear. Her life was a bridge between past and present — a living reminder of what was lost, and a guiding light for the responsibility we all share to remember, to teach, and to act.



May we continue the work she carried so faithfully.
May her legacy strengthen our resolve.
And may her memory forever be a blessing to Greenwood and to the world.
