In 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma’s “Black Wall Street,” a financially independent and vibrant community that had been built and sustained by Black Americans, became the site of one of the United States’ worst race massacres, fueled by White supremacists. Hundreds of people were killed, thousands were left homeless by fires, and hard-earned, substantial Black wealth and prosperity were destroyed.
