Deep Deuce’s legacy as a center of Black business and arts
Steeped in history, Deep Deuce is a vibrant neighborhood just north of downtown Oklahoma City. The small neighborhood derives its name from its location. Encompassing the 300 block of Northeast Second Street, Deep Deuce is also known as 'Deep Two' and 'Deep Second.' “It’s a very significant historical neighborhood in OKC,” says Anita Arnold, the Executive Director for the Black Liberated Arts Center. “It’s the area where African Americans settled when they first came into the city.” Originally a housing district for people working in warehouses in OKC’s nearby Bricktown area, Deep Deuce quickly became a thriving center of business and culture for African Americans in the early 20th century. “The best way to describe Deep Deuce” at the turn of the 20th century was “business by day but entertainment by night,” says Arnold. As one of OKC’s most highly sought-after neighborhoods today, the “work hard, party hard” attitude is still very much alive.

Rich in music history and performance
“There was everything that you needed on Deep Deuce,” Arnold notes. “There was a tailor if you needed to have clothes made, there were barber shops, hotels, a funeral home, a pool hall and a cab stand.” It also had a building with a drug store, a dance hall and an insurance company stacked one on top of the other. Deep Deuce even had its own theater. The Aldridge Theatre “showed cowboy pictures” and hosted vaudeville and other shows traveling through OKC for African American audiences. Deep Deuce became renowned as a hub for local jazz and blues musicians throughout the early decades of the 20th century. Electric guitarist Charlie Christian and singer Jimmy Rushing, both key figures in American music history, called the neighborhood home.
