Lankford steps down from Race Massacre Centennial Commission, citing partisan shift in goals

U.S. Sen. James Lankford's office confirmed Friday he has left the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission over what it says was a shift from the organization's original goals.

Lankford's office said the commission was becoming increasingly partisan and he did not think it appropriate for him to continue.

With the massacre's centennial approaching, the commission has come under increasing to prioritize financial support of survivors and descendant of those affected by the massacre.

Lankford's questioning of the 2020 presidential election results in some states caused some to call for his removal from the commission in January.

President Donald J. Trump Highway bill signed by Gov. Stitt

KLAHOMA CITY — Gov. Stitt on Friday signed a bill that would name a stretch of highway after former President Donald J. Trump.

The measure names 20 miles of U.S. 287 from Boise City to the Texas line for the 45th president.

It also names an interchange in Midwest City after U.S. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla.

The Senate removed a provision that said a person must be dead for three years before a roadway can be named after him or her, clearing the way for Trump’s name to go on a stretch of the roadway.

It is not the first roadway or facility named after Trump. But it was not immediately clear if it was the first stretch of a highway named after him.

Lawmakers in Florida, West Virginia, Utah and Arizona were presented bills to name stretches of highways after Trump.
