A Tulsa preschool is memorializing a man who was killed in a hate crime with a library dedicated in his memory.

Bnai Emunah Preschool, located in Congregation Bnai Emunah near 17th and Peoria, dedicated the Khalid Jabara Tikkun Olam Library Friday. The 37-year-old Jabara was killed by his neighbor, Stanley Majors, in August 2016 in what police described as a shooting motivated by Majors' hatred for Jabara's religion and background.

The library, based on a Jewish concept, "expresses our obligation to repair the world," according to a press release from Congregation Bnai Emunah. The space will house children's books and family resources about justice, compassion, empathy, diversity and social change.

Majors will go to trial in November.
