Dr. Bob Blackburn, Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society, joins Wayland & Cece for a special four parts series entitled “Race & Oklahoma History”. In this first episode, he shares a story titled “From Slavery to Freedom: The First Kansas Colored Regiment Wins the Battle of Honey Springs in 1863." This gripping Civil War battle story highlights a monumental early victory in the African-American struggle for freedom and equality in Oklahoma. The story is a jumping off point for a great conversation on the role of history and how it shapes our views of racial dynamics in society.
