        @MotherJones #Tulsa did right in addressing the name of our Brady Arts District. The name remains, but we changed which Brady it honors.

        @MotherJones Nice photoshop. Except next time, give the flag and tree a shadow like the real things have. *FAIL*

        @BadBuc99 @MotherJones I don't think it's a photoshop. The flag and tree are parallel to the camera whereas the poles at a different incline

        @MotherJones I dont think that is even close to covering them all. What was the criteria? Not that erasing history will solve racism....
