According to Tulsa World, Fulton Street Books & Coffee held a ribbon-cutting grand opening on Friday to celebrate the new location next door to the Greenwood Rising museum.

Onikah Asamoa-Caesar, Fulton Street Books & Coffee founder and owner, said the location is more than just a place to read books. It’s where community members can go and see themselves represented in literature on the shelves.

“I am overwhelmed with gratitude to be here today,” Asamoa-Caesar told Tulsa World. “This grand opening is not just about a new location; it’s about celebrating the resilience of our community and continuing to stand firm in our commitment to increasing representation on the shelves.”
