TULSA, Okla. — On Saturday, Gov. Kevin Stitt joined Vice President Mike Pence for a roundtable discussion on race with local faith and community leaders at the Tulsa Dream Center.
The discussion and listening session focused on recent unrest across the United States as a result of George Floyd’s tragic death in Minneapolis, according to a news release by the governor's office.
