Trey tried something new, a deep immersion in the District Deep Deice here in Oklahoma City. The Aldridge Theater, the top musician and actor like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington attracted. Even the legend itself, Miss Florence Kemp, founded her Restaurant Florence in the Deep Deice District.

Video Trey gave us a tour in the Calvary Baptist Church, where he says that Martin Luther King Junior gave a sermon as part of an interview. Pretty early in his career. How does it feel to go up these steps? You know, we are approaching where Martin Luther King Jr. yes. STOP HERE. Let them feel absolutely. I somehow gives me goose bumps.

And it feels good to know that I am aware of the story behind this area. He says a friend first told him about the story in Deep Deice, and from there he did his own research. Deep Deice was a living community in the 1920s. You know, they had everything you could ask for, as far as business is concerned, as far as their own newspapers, their own restaurants, hairdressing, medical practices and lawyers here. When people hear from the deep deice, we see these signs that the historic jazz district say, right? But it was so much more than that, wasn't it? Absolutely absolutely. One of our other stops, just a few blocks from the church, talk about where we are. So we are actually in the Lyon's Mansion, and this was owned by the successful entrepreneur Sidney Lyons. And he had this mansion built in 1926. He would sell everything, from hair growth serum to powder, soaps, perfumes, you know, such things. And he was not only successful in the United States, but also internationally good. The Deep Deice district is not just a place. It is a living proof of the strength, resilience and living history of the black community here in Oklahoma City.
