"woody guthrie: american radical" was born on bastille day, july 14th, 1912, in oklahoma.cing, walking laughing, shooting, bleeding, gambling, fist fighting illegal gun club and razor kerri in of our ranch and farm towns. it blossomed into one of our first oil boom towns. they discovered oil in okeema in 1920 when woody guthrie was the piers 0. he saw the population quintuple overnight. one day it was a sleepy southern hamlet and the next day everybody was there and it was filled with these oil boomers for boone chasers who were making fortunes hand over fist every day. still 1928. when the oil ran out and okeema went from boom to bust. hundreds of these oil boomers turned out to run the countryside and in that respect okeema and her children become microcosm of the faith of many towns and communities the following year when the depression came. in 1929 after a series of incredible family tragedies, the burning down of their family home and the burning to death of his sister and another house fire, near fatal burning of his father in a third house fire and the incarceratio

we had a lady not too long ago in my state of oklahoma -- in oklahoma city, who was driving -- she is mother of two small children. she was driving in one of the big interstate bridges, driving under it, a block of concrete fell off and it killed her. she's the mother of two small children. we have people dying every day on the highways because of the condition of the highways. and for that i applaud senator boxer for joining me to put together this coalition. and let me -- i don't want to say anything that would be improper at this time. and it is my expectation -- not just hope, but expectation -- that we're going to be able to come up with a highway reauthorization bill. and it is going to be one that's going to be at least holding the current spending level. if we were to have to go back to the level of the proceeds of the highway trust fund, that would be about 34% less than what we're spending today. and i defy anyone -- anyone of my -- any one of my fellow senators from all of the 50 states to tell me one state that isn't having just as serious a problem as my state of oklahoma

oklahoma city, any objective person would look at oklahoma city and say you know, they really have done great things. as mick knows i used to use an airport, sorry that they closed, called downtown airport. and on my final approach i always went over that area of brick town and the waterway there and the ball park. i looked down. i've watched that develop and it's been amazing. i defy, i don't think there is any city in america that's done a better job. a lot is due to our witness sitting before us. i mentioned two of his predecessors also involved in that. i think that we or that he and oklahoma city provided an example what if we should strive for. he has done a great job. with that i'm delighted to have him as our witness before this committee. >> senator, appreciate the opportunity to testify before you today. i'm the mayor of oklahoma city and trustee for the conference of mayors. i'm pleased to be here to discuss the impact that brownfields redevelopment had on the city. we've been very successful in being able to use a lot of the epa programs including the revolving loan fund, as

we're in some level of a boom-time economy in oklahoma city. we're very fortunate. we can handle the two games that i think have been canceled so far in the first two weeks of the season. the two home games. but if the entire season were to be canceled, that would be another story. oklahoma city being a small market team gets a lot of very nice publicity from having a team that has advanced well into the playoffs, as you mentioned, last season. so, there's a superficial level of quality with bigger markets. we get a lot of branding opportunities and it allows us to promote oklahoma city in a lot of ways that we wouldn't be able to do otherwise. as you mentioned, it's our only team. if they don't play, we're hurting because of it. >> so, if the season is lost, that could mean that your city loses more than $60 million. how are you going to do deal with that? any contingency plans for lost revenue? >> there's not much of an effort to try and replace it. certainly, you could do a few more concerts and get a few more people into the arena. there will be game nights that

oklahoma city has been a nba hometown for only three seasons, but the effort to bring pro basketball there began in 1993. rick horrow served as a consultant on that effort. in tonight's beyond the scoreboard, horrow talks with former oklahoma city mayor ron norick about the impact of losing basketball, beginning with why the city worked so hard to land an nba team. >> when the tragedy of katrina, hurricane irene hit new orleans, it really opened up the door for us because we invited the new orleans hornets to come in and make this their temporary home while they rebuilt their building, and it gave our community a chance to showcase what we crowd offer to the league and to the other teams, and it worked, and we've just been going up ever since. and this city supports the thunder like crazy. i mean, this is a football state, but right now it's also a basketball state. >> you had a study that talked about $100 plus million of economic impact when the hornets came post-katrina, and now the thunder is the same kind of economic impact. how do you replace that? >> i don't think you do repla

leading westward among the jalopies and the wagons piled high with furniture, there was another oklahomaingers. like woody and countless other children of dust bowl the dust bowl she would become radically politicized by her migratory experience. as she recalled it, along with other hundreds of thousands of dirt farmers, we fought to survive. we battled crop failures, hunger, illness without doctors, goalie washers, hail storms, the death of livestock, fires. now we could have endured all of those normal disasters that there was no way in god's world to escape the sharks teeth of the bankers. and that is what happened. woody remembered the further west you walked, the browner, hotter, stiller and him steer the country gets. i am -- whole swarms of hitchhikers and migratory workers squatted with their little piles of the longings in the shade of the big signboard, out across the flat, hard crust desert or goat kids chasing around in the blistering sun, ladies cooking scrappy meals in city buckets and scouring the place clean withstand. young folks in work pants copying -- cotton dresses.

>> when my family moved from arkansas to oklahoma -- oklahoma moved to rural oklahoma. we remained on the farm. even though they were in oklahoma at the time of the riots, news being what it was, they were not really affected by it directly. the tulsa race riots happened in 1921, i believe, and in an urban area in tulsa that was primarily black and quite prosperous. it was looted and burned. a number of people do not even know to the day how many people were in fact killed during those race riots which were really mass murders. they had an impact certainly in terms of -- probably an indirect impact in terms of people did not go to the city after that. in immediate impact we did not have. >> what a pleasure to see you. i spent the weekend of my 30th birthday watching your hearings. >> thank you. i am fine. >> i remember, i spent my time at harvard because they had really good defense. i said, does anybody know if anita hill is ok, and she said, i think there are a lot of people supporting her right now. that was comforting to me. i want to get to a question about home. o

i felt very settled in rural oklahoma. i even felt cheated out of ancestral participation in the pivotal movement towards progress that so many african-americans experienced, known as the great migration. it was known for me as a great migration in part, not just because there were a lot of people moving from south to north to west, but because of the great anticipation and the great expectation that came out of the movement. however, in researching "reimagining equality" i learned that my family story involve movement as well. in doing so and in doing the research and understanding my own relationship as well as my history, i came to appreciate not only the role that movement played, but also the role that those years of being settled on the farm in oklahoma played in terms of the achievement of equality for me and my 12 siblings. now, for those of you who are interested in research, and i hope some of you are doing your family history, and i'm sure everyone of you has a family story to tell about home, i'll just say that
