Greenwood Rising is a community space dedicated to preserving the history and resilience of Tulsa’s Historic Greenwood District—once home to Black Wall Street. Through immersive storytelling and interactive exhibits, we honor the lives impacted by the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, recognize the strength of those who rebuilt, and amplify the voices of a community that continues to push forward. Our mission is to ensure that this history is never forgotten and to foster meaningful conversations that inspire reflection, healing, and progress. Greenwood Rising is more than a history center—it is a place to listen, learn, and carry forward the legacy of those who came before us. We invite you to experience this journey, honor the past, and engage in the ongoing story of Greenwood. #GreenwoodRising #BlackWallStreet #RememberAndRebuild #TulsaHistory #Resilience

This past weekend, I had the powerful opportunity to visit?Greenwood Rising: Black Wall Street?in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You may ask,????????? ?????? ?????????? ???????? ????????????? It was a thriving center of?Black ingenuity, entrepreneurship, wealth, education, and excellence, built during the Reconstruction Era after the abolition of slavery. African Americans, placed on land originally taken from Native Americans during the Trail of Tears, built a self-sustaining and prosperous community—despite the constraints of “separate but equal.” But their success sparked jealousy, racism, and violence. On?May 31, 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre began with a white mob invading the town. In the span of a single day, men, women, and children were murdered. Homes and businesses were burned to the ground. Though the Black Tulsa community attempted to rebuild, systemic obstacles and targeted policies ensured it would never be the same. The government and media not only displaced blame but also covered up the atrocities. I had long known about this dark chapter in history, but standing on this land, bearing witness to its remnants, was something else entirely.?Visiting Greenwood Rising reinforced that knowledge is—and will always be—power.?Not the kind that dominates, but the kind that educates, empowers, and uplifts. As I continue my journey, I am committed to sharing these stories, honoring resilience, and using what I learn to help others do better in their own lives. “?????????? ?????? ?????? ???????? ???? ???????????????? ??????'?? ????????????????: ?????? ???? ?????????????? ????????, ?????? ?????????? ???? ?????????????? ????.”?– Booker T.
