Jabar Shumate Speaks at OU's Eve of Nations Event

This past weekend, representative Shumate (D-Tulsa) attended The University of Oklahoma's 37th annual Eve of Nations event at the Lloyd Noble Center. This event featured performances, international cuisine, a fashion show, and various speeches all celebrating diversity within the state of Oklahoma.
Shumate spoke to over 1,000 audience members, stating that the multicultural event represented everything that he works for in the legislature. For Shumate, the importance of embracing and celebrating the many different ethnicities that are present within our state is clear. When people of diverse backgrounds come together, the results are undeniably positive for the entire community.
