Isaiah was such an esteemed, engaged and generous member of the #NatGeoExplorer community. We will miss him terribly, with the consolation of seeing his passion live on in all the students he has mentored.

I’m saddened by the passing of a luminary who lived a life of substance & purpose. I’m lucky to have worked with Tom over the last decade. His dedication, humor, and perennial optimism have been a constant source of inspiration - for me & the entire #natgeoexplorer community.

At least my children will learn about this much earlier in life than I did. I also highly recommend this exceptional documentary #RiseAgain: Tulsa and the #RedSummer featuring this article's author @DeNeenLBrown #JuneTeenth2021

After the 100th anniversary, questions remain over how to remember one of the worst acts of racial terror in U.S. history—and what the victims are owed.
