Summary:

Published one hundred years after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, this book distinguishes the Tulsa of today from the Tulsa of a century ago. It reflects on Tulsa's historic Greenwood District, known as the Black Wall Street, from the prodigious entrepreneurial spirit that pervaded it to the carnage that characterized the 1921 massacre, to the post-massacre rebound and rebuilding that raised the District to new heights, to the mid-twentieth-century decline that proved to be a second near-fatal blow, to the current recalibration and rebranding of a resurgent, but differently configured, community.
