Continuing to share important moments of Black History this Black History Month - Meet Black Wall Street. Black Wall Street refers to the thriving African American community in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the early 20th century. Known for its prosperous businesses and vibrant cultural scene, it earned a reputation as one of the most affluent African American communities in the United States. At its height, Black Wall Street boasted numerous successful businesses, including grocery stores, banks, theaters, and hotels, all predominantly owned and operated by Black entrepreneurs. However, this prosperity was tragically disrupted in 1921 when racial tensions culminated in the Tulsa Race Massacre. Over two days, white mobs attacked the district, resulting in significant loss of life and the destruction of homes and businesses. Despite the devastation, the legacy of Black Wall Street continues to inspire and serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the African American community. #Blackhistory #coalitionofcolorfulwomen

Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history. #BlackHistoryMonth
