Head to the Oklahoma History Center for a discussion of the book "The Shoemaker" with author and Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame member, retired Major Joe Lee Todd. The book focuses on the life of Louis Kerbel, a Russian Jewish man who was born in Ukraine in 1888. Kerbel worked as a shoemaker in Russia before moving the to the United States in 1911. In 1914, Kerbel moved to Oklahoma where he opened a shoe shop in downtown Tulsa. Kerbel helped several Black Oklahomans during the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 by concealing them in his shoe shop.
