Oklahoma's All Black Towns book - - - - - - -now accessible online

wish you were here: Oklahoma's All Black Towns 100 Years after Statehood is now freely available online. I have posted a pdf version of the book at this site: http://drop.io/abandonedtulsa. Sorry but I can't figure out how to get the blurb watermark out of the posted copy. The book can be purchased (without watermark) in either paperback or hardback at blurb.com.

Also at the same site I have posted a pdf copy of my other book, Abandoned Tulsa, which is now out of print.

Please note that although copyright restrictions continue to apply, educators have permission to use the pdf versions of both books for any non-commercial use.
