The Jasinskis toured with Ballet Russe in South America and Europe, returning to America in 1947 with no job and no plans. To fill the employment gap, Larkin danced four full performances a day as Prima Ballerina at Radio City Music Hall and was one of the first dancers to perform regularly on television, doing so for six months on the weekly Fay Emerson show.

She and her husband later retired to Oklahoma to raise their son and join her mother’s thriving ballet school in Tulsa. Just two years later, they and pianist Rosalie Talbot incorporated Tulsa Ballet Arts, which would ultimately become today’s fully professional, internationally-acclaimed, Tulsa Ballet.

Members of Oklahoma Task Force 1 have to go complete 240 hours of intense training before they can take part in rescue missions. Then they must complete roughly 80 hours of additional training each to year to keep their rescue skills sharp.

Johnson was arrested in 2007 after officers found five dozen counterfeit FEMA checks in her handbag during a traffic stop. Records from Texas also indicate an arrest there for Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity.

Strait and her 90-year-old husband, Bob, were found brutally beaten and left for dead in their north Tulsa home March 14.

Tyrone Woodfork, 20, was arrested for the murder of Strait March 15. He is being held in the Tulsa County Jail on complaints of first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, armed robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon.

Since the incident, life has changed forever for the Strait’s children.

“To see dad suffering, that is so hard,” said Bob and Nancy’s daughter, Lanora.

The baseline survey measures Tulsa area attitudes on current racial issues and knowledge of racial history.

“I believe that John Hope Franklin would have been very happy with what we are doing today in Tulsa,” said Julius Pegues with the John Hope Franklin Center:

In the park named for a man whose life was spent honoring African-Americans, community leaders gathered to share results of a survey that explored racial relations in Tulsa.

“We do have some problems here in Tulsa but we don’t have any that we can’t overcome,” Pegues said. “Our problem in the past has been a lack of education and a lack of dialogue.”

The survey heard from more than 2000 people, 61 percent of those were white, 23 percent African-American, the rest Native American or Hispanic.

The results showed that racial or ethnic minorities experience discrimination in Tulsa, that whites have advantages others races do not, minorities believe they are portrayed negatively in the media, but also that minorities can do more to help themselves.

Thursday’s announcement came on the heels of the tragedy over the Easter weekend that saw civil rights activist Jesse Jackson preach in Tulsa about ending the divide between white Tulsa and black Tulsa.

Organizers emphasize the survey was done long before the Good Friday shootings but the way the community reacted shows how the city can work together.

“I think it gives us an opportunity to do more intensive work,” Pegues said.

The survey also showed that more people would like to see the 1921 Race Riot taught in Tulsa’s Public Schools. Supporters say it’s important to look at the past to help understand the present.

“I think that one of the things that we’ve learned is that when we tend to pretend that something is not an issue it never goes away, it just festers,” said Kelli McLoud-Schingen with the Tulsa Urban League.

The survey was developed by the Center for Reconciliation and the University of Oklahoma’s Center of Applied Research for Nonprofit Organizations.

A judge entered not guilty pleas Monday for England and Alvin Watts, who appeared in Tulsa County District Court via closed-circuit television from jail, where they have been held since their arrests Easter Sunday. They face murder and hate crimes charges for allegedly killing three people and wounding two others.

Special Judge William Hiddle assigned a lawyer to Watts and entered not guilty pleas for both men to charges of first-degree murder, shooting with the intent to kill and malicious harassment in the April 6 attacks in Tulsa. The harassment counts imply the victims were targeted because they are black.

The first-degree murder counts are punishable by execution or life in prison. Prosecutors have not decided whether to seek the death penalty.

“I want to reiterate that this is the first step in obtaining justice in this case,” said Doug Drummond, Tulsa County First Assistant District Attorney. “In these types of cases, it’s more of a marathon than a sprint.”

Authorities, who have described the pair as white, contend the two housemates targeted their victims because they believe England wanted to avenge his father’s shooting death by a black man two years ago. Police said England and Watts confessed after their arrests and said they chose the victims at random.

The early-morning shootings terrorized Tulsa’s black community over Easter weekend. William Allen, Bobby Clark and Dannaer Fields were killed, and David Hall and Deon Tucker were wounded.

A day before the shootings, England apparently wrote a Facebook post saying that it was the second anniversary of his father’s death, using a racial slur and lamenting that “it’s hard not to go off.”

Brewster said England is Cherokee Indian. In the videotaped interview, Brewster asks England why he used the slur on the posting.

“It was just express(ing) the way I was upset about the guy that shot my dad,” England told Brewster in the video, which lasts less than eight minutes. “That’s the only time I ever expressed anything like that about somebody.”

Documents filed with the charges said anonymous callers to a police hotline before the men were arrested claimed England was a racist who hated black men and that he “has mentioned he will die in a shootout with the police if he has to.” England’s family and friends have said the death of his father and his girlfriend’s January suicide sent him into a downward spiral.

Oklahoma’s hate crime law applies in cases where a defendant targets a victim specifically because of that person’s race, religion, ancestry, natural origin or disability.

Weak penalties, however, have resulted in it usually only being used in cases involving low-level misdemeanors where prosecutors want a longer sentence. The malicious harassment law is a misdemeanor on the first offense and carries a sentence of up to one year in prison and a $1,000 fine.

Alexander’s son, Jake England, and his friend, Alvin Watts, are accused of first-degree murder and other charges in the April 6 shooting spree, which came a day after he posted a message lamenting his father’s death two years earlier “at the hands of a f–king n—-r.”

Jake England and Alvin Watts appeared in Tulsa County District Court via closed-circuit television from jail, where they have been held since their arrests Easter Sunday.
