Summit is a town in Muskogee County, originally called South Muskogee when it was platted in 1910, had a post office as early as 1896. The town is located six miles southwest of the city of Muskogee along the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railway. The railroad provided a depot for the community.

The senseless deaths of George Floyd and so many other Black Americans, and the protests that occurred in response, have gripped Oklahomans, Americans, and the world alike.

By providing resources that give context for the Black experience in Oklahoma, we hope to spark civil discourse and open dialogue about the role of race in the history of our state.
