Fire in Little Africa
The album was recorded in Greenwood over a five-day period in March 2020. Studios were set up at the Greenwood Cultural Center and other locations, including the former home of 1921 massacre mastermind/KKK leader Tate Brady. The house is now owned by former NFL first-round draft pick and Tulsa native Felix Jones.
Fire in Little Africa marks the first new material released by Black Forum since the label’s relaunch earlier this year. Black Forum originally debuted in 1970 with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Why I Oppose The War In Vietnam, which won a GRAMMY Award for Best Spoken Word Album. The label reissued Dr. King’s influential speech earlier this year.

It’s amazing that this story is finally being told even though growing up in Tulsa! Many tried to keep this story covered up! Thank God for the positive things happening there in Tulsa! I still have most of my family there! This is magic and I’m writing a song about it also! I live in Indianapolis now! But my heart and my fellow musicians there are great talents and are blessed to be recognized!
Dope!🔥✊🏾
