About

Welcome to Historic Black Wall Street, a platform dedicated to honoring the legacy of Greenwood, Tulsa—a thriving community once known as Black Wall Street. Our mission is to preserve the stories, achievements, and resilience of this remarkable district while fostering dialogue and education about its enduring impact on history and modern society.

Our Purpose

The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 devastated Greenwood, erasing decades of economic progress and displacing thousands of African American residents.
