Monogrammed Brick Stories
Brick: White, Carl. W.
Contributed by Carla D. White Pratt
Carl W. White was married to my mother Johnnie M. White. Together they adopted my brother Randy J. White and myself Carla D. White. We lived in Platter, Oklahoma, just a few miles from the homestead that my paternal grandfather Napoleon White purchased in Calera, Oklahoma. Napoleon White was married to Albertine White, and he was an enrollee on the Freedman Roll of the Choctaw tribe. Napoleon was the son of Matthew and Mary White. Mary was a former slave owned by a Choctaw man named Henry Fulsome. She was freed at the age of 12 by the Civil War.

In 2012 the Oklahoma Historical Society invited those who purchased one of the monogrammed bricks paving the Red River Journey at the Oklahoma History Center to share about the person or group their brick honors. Below is a list of those who submitted stories and the message shown on their brick. Use the links below to read the contributed story.
This project was made possible by a generous donation from Catherine B. Wootten.
