    Black Wall Street stands as a profound symbol of Black entrepreneurship and resilience in early 20th-century America. Originating in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, it flourished in the 1920s, boasting a vibrant community filled with businesses, schools, and cultural institutions, all owned and operated by Black citizens. This economic independence showcased the potential for success within marginalized communities, fostering a sense of pride and self-sufficiency.
    The district was renowned for its numerous successful enterprises, including hotels, restaurants, and a variety of shops, creating a bustling economy that drew people from all over. However, the promise of Black Wall Street was tragically shattered during the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921. Following a false accusation against a Black man, a white mob descended upon Greenwood, destroying homes and businesses, resulting in significant loss of life and property.
    This devastating event not only highlighted the racial tensions of the era but also marked a turning point in the narrative of Black success in America. Despite the destruction, the legacy of Black Wall Street endures, serving as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for economic justice and the importance of community resilience. Today, efforts to commemorate and educate others about this pivotal chapter in history continue to inspire discussions about racial equality and empowerment.

    What you dish out eventually will return to you, what you sow, you’ll eventually reap, that’s a law you can’t escape.

      I learned about it when I lived in Tulsa. When my wife gave birth to twins, I decided the twins would be better off being raised in California.

    I believe we can get it back. I believe Black Wall Street can come back for us. If we really go out there again like I ancestors have is not too hard even in 21st century it is still work for us if we just know how to come together as a people like they did in the yesterday pass.
