About this campaign
Threatt Family Land & Filling Station The Threatt Filling Station sits on about 160 acres in Luther, Oklahoma. It is a part of Oklahoma history, as well as national history. It was the first black owned gas station on Route 66 and was known as one of the only safe places for African Americans traveling across country by way of this historical road. The Threatt Filling Station was just recognized in 2018 by Air BnB magazine as a property that should have been listed in The Green Book. The Green Book was a tourist guide to help African American travelers seeking safe locations while traveling during the Jim Crow era. The Threatt Filling Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks ( Google Threatt Filling Station ). This property has remained in the Threatt family for over 100 years. Help us restore our family legacy! Donate today!

Preservation of the Threatt Filling Station and its significance in history.
Because it’s my family legacy and I want to participate in any way possible.
I'm friends with Nic, and I want to show my support to a great cause.
This is my family
The Threatt Filling Station is historically significant for its association with Route 66 and as an example of an African-American owned business on the highway during the era of segregation. This great landmark deserves our support.
It is our pleasure to support a part of African American History. I want to thank my friend for enlightening me.
I have very fond memories of my childhood running in and out of the building. Homemade ice cream, laughter, food and family love. I purchased shirts for my entire immediate family. I cannot wait to take a family photo all together in our shirts.
