The Oklahoma Territorial Museum and Carnegie Library will celebrate Oklahoma statehood day with a panel discussion on Saturday, November 15, starting at 1 p.m.
Dr. Sunu Kodumthara, a professor of history at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, will moderate a panel discussion on Oklahoma statehood and its impact on diverse populations.
