Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke is returning to Tulsa Sunday and Monday for a town hall meeting and for a visit to historic Black Wall Street, O’Rourke’s campaign said Friday.

O’Rourke will have a town hall meeting at 7 p.m. Sunday at Welltown Brewing, 114 W. Archer St., and visit the Greenwood area sometime Monday.

He also plans to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial on Monday.

No schedule for the Monday events has been announced.

The swing through Oklahoma fits into a strategy of highlighting domestic terrorism and violence following the murders of 22 people at a Walmart in O’Rourke’s hometown of El Paso.

“Since our country’s founding, our history has been stained by the dark legacy of racial violence and domestic terror — a legacy this state has been forced to reckon with from The Tulsa Massacre to the Oklahoma City Bombing,” O’Rourke said in a written statement.

“Last year, more Americans died at the hands of white nationalists than any year since the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed here in Oklahoma — and we know why. Because we have a President who not only condones this hatred and violence, but fuels it.
