The History
Black Wall Street refers to the prosperous African American community in the Greenwood District of Tulsa during the early 20th century. Known for its flourishing businesses, schools, and cultural institutions, it symbolized Black resilience, independence, and achievement. Although it was destroyed in the tragic 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, its legacy continues to inspire economic empowerment and community building nationwide.
