Black Wall Street
"Black Wall Street" refers to the Greenwood District in {Tulsa, Oklahoma}, which became a prosperous African American community in the early 20th century. It was known for its thriving businesses, including banks, hotels, and theaters, all owned and operated by Black entrepreneurs. This economic success made it a symbol of Black achievement and self-sufficiency.
Tragically, in 1921, the {Tulsa Race Massacre} devastated the community when a white mob attacked Greenwood, destroying homes and businesses. Thousands of residents were left homeless, and the event remains a significant part of American history, highlighting issues of racial violence and economic disparity.
