Archie Goodwin To Get An Exhibition At The Oklahoma Museum Of Popular Culture When It Opens

The Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, is planned to open later this year and has been acquiring collections from people from Oklahoma who made a major cultural impact.

He moved to New York City to attend classes at what became the School of Visual Arts.
