Throwback Tulsa: Nine years ago today, President Barack Obama visits Oklahoma
Nine years ago, on July 15, 2015, President Barack Obama visited Durant High School.
The visit was to announce his administration’s effort to bring greater internet access to schools and homes outside metropolitan areas.
Obama introduced Connect Home, a program that works through internet providers and other private businesses to bring free or subsidized high-speed internet service to low-income households in 27 communities nationally and the Choctaw Nation.
The next day, on July 16, 2015, Obama visited the federal prison in El Reno where he again spoke out against harsh mandatory minimum sentencing for non-violent offenders.
