The Black Liberated Arts Center has grown and expanded its services. Initially created as a platform for music, literary works, and visual arts, it now includes a theater component. BLAC offers a variety of programs, including festivals, arts education, lectures, poetry readings, theater productions, presenting programs, traveling arts programs, and dance programs. Serving the community is their primary focus. Their mission to use the vehicle of fine arts to provide the total community of Oklahoma with exposure to the African, African-American/Black culture with a particular emphasis on educating Oklahoma's youth is truly commendable.
Come and experience the history and beauty of this Oklahoma treasure, the Harn Homestead. Their mission is to preserve the historic homestead of Mr. William Fremont Harn and to educate the public about the territorial years of Oklahoma. They offer a unique hands-on and minds-on experience that allows visitors to step back in time and share in the daily life of a territorial farm family. From the one-room schoolhouse to the Victorian home, the Harn Homestead captures the spirit of the brave men, women, and children who settled in this state. When you visit, you can take a paid tour of the Harn House, usually scheduled for the hour or half-hour closest to your arrival time. You can also explore five other historic buildings and the large Event Barn on your own throughout the day. While the Farmhouse building has limited hands-on activities, a small gift shop is in the main office.
The Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum houses the story of the tragic event that claimed the lives of 168 Americans due to a bomb explosion. Visitors can explore exhibits like the Gates of Time, Field of Empty Chairs, Survivor Tree, and Reflecting Pool, which hold significant symbolic importance and represent the sacred ground. In addition, visitors can experience the poignant story through touchscreens, galleries, and theaters that reveal the events of that fateful event, which still resonates today.
