TULSA, Okla. — After President Trump's address to Congress on March 4, dozens of civil rights leaders and advocates hosted a town hall in response.
It's part of the inaugural "State of the People Address", asking the question "Where do we go from here?"
2 News listened to the town hall and heard from local civil rights attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons, who said there are lessons from Greenwood that can help the whole country.
“There were 5 founding principles of Think Greenwood. Number 1 was community love. Number 2 was self-determination. Number 3 was ownership. Number 4 was wealth and education concentration. Number 5 was resilience. These are the founding principles of Greenwood and this is what we need to emulate today," Solomon-Simmons said.
Civil rights leaders say the town hall helped give a "true assessment of the nation's condition."
