Long letter:

Tulsa County Court Clerk

2nd Floor

500 S Denver Ave W

Tulsa, OK. 74103

To the Tulsa County Court Clerk office and Don Newberry,

The Klu Klux Klan represents 150 years of terror and violence towards our black and brown American brothers and sisters. Tulsa County Court Clerk employee Bondell “Bonnie” Kukla has visible involvement with the KKK: alongside her husband she is currently listed on the official KKK Knights Party Website as an upcoming entertainer for a major conference taking place later this month. (Noteworthy that the subtitle for this website is “The premier voice of America’s white resistance.”) This affiliation is cause for action to be taken to protect vulnerable members of our Tulsa community from any potential abuse of authority made possible by Kukla’s station. At bare minimum, this should mean a thorough investigation into potential breaches of Kukla’s professional conduct.

Unfortunately, this has not been the case, and worse still, this lack of action is par for the course. Our city is built on a foundational history of racial violence, starting with settler colonialism, expanding into the Greenwood Race Massacre, carrying through to events we now see with regularity like the shocking example of Terence Crutcher’s murder in 2016, and more insidious examples like this safeguarding of Bonnie Kukla. Tulsa’s track record is overwhelmingly one built on actions supporting white supremacy and white supremacist violence. While not all of Tulsa’s residents may see our history in this light, this is the image that is ground into the genetic memory of our black and brown communities. This is the low standard of how they know and expect their city to behave.

Tulsa can do better, and recent conversations have indicated that Tulsa does want to do better. Deep in our newest and most frequent community conversations has been the kernel that we should bridge our racial divides. Our new mayor has made many overtures of coming together to mend the ills of racial injustice that Tulsa has inflicted on its own. Unfortunately again, in examples like now, we see these conversations as nothing more than empty platitudes designed to ensnare votes rather than lay foundation for actual reconciliation. They will remain empty until we begin to take concrete steps towards betterment.

In taking concrete action on this specific issue, we have the opportunity right now to take the first step towards that vision of a better future. With this vision and hope for the future in mind, we entreat you as friends, neighbors, and fellow Tulsans to take the first uncomfortable step towards reconciliation. Show us and our neighbors that you are built of more than empty platitudes.

We look forward to your office doing the right thing.

Short letter:

To the Tulsa County Court Clerk office and Don Newberry,

The Klu Klux Klan represents 150 years of Klan terror towards our black brothers and sisters of our American society. This, alone, is worthy of the city of Tulsa investigating Tulsa county clerk employee Bonnie Kukla for her role in Klan activities. However, given the violently racist past of the city and citizens of Tulsa Oklahoma that were both complicit and in some instances active participants in the Race Massacre of 1922, the Osage Murders, and many other violently racist events and terrors, the continual disinterest, apathy, and total disregard of a member of such a hateful and violent terrorist organization such as the KKK being openly employed by the city of Tulsa is disgraceful, disgusting, and shameful. This displays the true face and heart of our city and elected officials when it comes to racial reconciliation and moving forward into a united future; the revelation that all these supposed words and gestures of support and healing towards the Black community were merely cheap and oily lies to further the personal and economic interests of the white Tulsan majority.

We look forward to your office doing the right thing.

Our dearly beloved Equality center was unfortunately exposed as being more willing to listen to the Klan than queer POC...
