President Trump's advance team announced a multi-screen theater complex will go up around the exterior of the BOK Center. The first screen is being erected on the wall of the BOK Arena parking structure, at 3rd & Frisco Ave.
Laura Trump told the Spicer & Co tv show on Wednesday night that 'some special surprises will also be a part of the outdoor experience. She did not say how many screens will be erected, but their rapid response team has multiple options to handle many thousands. The looming challenge for rally-goers is to get into Tulsa early, so they don't risk a clogged interstate road, on Saturday. |

Late last night, President Trump's campaign office announced a change in the Tulsa rally date. It's going to be Saturday evening june 20th, instead of Friday. Registered attendees will automatically be welcomed for the new date. The rally is at the BOK Center, in downtown Tulsa. Although the Tulsa Juneteenth organization completely cancelled all 2020 commemorative activities, due to pandemic concerns, others want Tulsa to focus on the historic Texas emancipation of African slaves. Oklahoma slaves were not emancipated by the Indian Nations until a later date. Yesterday, a rushed new event was organized by a consortium of groups, and placed on the TulsaJuneteenth website. The new event will be held on Greenwood Ave., a street named for a wealthy slave owner who was principal chief of the Choctaw Nation (Greenwood LeFlore).
