In the past week searches for “What started the Tulsa Massacre” reached record highs in the US.
On May 31-June 1, 1921, one of the most prosperous Black communities of the early 20th century, Tulsa’s Greenwood district — America’s “Black Wall Street” — was destroyed by white mobs during the
#TulsaRaceMassacre.
A century later, local Black-owned businesses are building the next generation of the Greenwood district. The
greenwood.art.project is commemorating the Tulsa Race Massacre with a series of art installations and exhibitions honoring local leaders and entrepreneurs.
We’re honored to support Greenwood in their efforts to
#RememberTulsa. Learn about Tulsa’s past, present and future at the link in our bio.
