TULSA, Okla. (KFOR) – Tulsa mayor-elect Monroe Nichols has made history as the first Black person elected ever in the city.
The results came Tuesday night in the general election. Unofficial results from the State Election Board show Nichols beat out challenger Karen Keith by more than 13,000 votes. Nichols got the news while celebrating Tuesday at the Greenwood Cultural Center with family, friends and supporters.
"I'm not sure that it's sunk in yet, to be totally honest," said Nichols.
