Black Wall Street History: The Tulsa Massacre
What Is Black Wall Street? The creation of Black Wall Street in Greenwood during the early 1900s is one of the proudest achievements in Black American history. Not so long ago, Black men and women were segregated, not allowed to own property or vote, and faced racial violence. Despite this, Black people banded together to create their own self-sustaining communities with thriving economies, the finest example of which was Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
