🌽 Green Corn Rebellion – Free Premiere Screening & Panel 🌽
📅 Wednesday, October 9
🕐 1:00–3:00 pm
📍 Oklahoma History Center
💵 FREE to the public
See history come alive with the award-winning OETA original series Back In Time, a show that brings pivotal moments, people, and movements from Oklahoma’s past to life through compelling storytelling and rich archival footage.
Be among the first to watch the brand-new episode on the Green Corn Rebellion of 1917 before it airs! In this little-known but fascinating chapter of history, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, and renegade Socialists rose up in rural Oklahoma to resist the draft and America’s entry into World War I. Their dream of sparking a mass movement was bold—but short-lived.
After the screening, stay for a panel discussion featuring:
🎙️ Dr. Matthew Pearce, State Historian, Oklahoma Historical Society
🎙️ Robert Burch, host of Back In Time and panel moderator
🎙️ Dale Ingram, Historian/Author
✨ This event is free and open to the public.
