  • Resumen

  • Got another great black history story to share with you, "The Tulsa Massacre" and "Black Wall Street".


    Black Wall Street or "Little Africa" as it was also known, was a 35 block area of the "Greenwood District" part of Tulsa, OK.



    Greenwood contained approximately 10,000 residents and they all were black. Not only did all blacks live in Greenwood, but every business in Greenwood were owned by black people.



    The main street 'Greenwood Ave." contained everyone from barber shop, to post offices and everything in between.



    Greenwood was a completely self-sufficient area and it was one of the most affluent black communities in America at that time.



    On June 1, 1921 it all came to an end, when a mop of over 1,000 white men, stormed the district and started killing the residents and burning down all of their homes and businesses.



    The situation was sparked by a 19 year old black boy named, "Dick Rowland" who allegedly assaulted a 17 year old white girl, while the two were on an elevator together.
