Through the lens of several descendants, this 23-minute long film draws a century-long thread from the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 to the present, exploring the lingering economic, psychological and emotional impacts that have undermined the rebuilding of a once thriving Black community. 

North Tulsa’s Greenwood District, also known as Black Wall Street, was once the most prosperous Black community in America. During a few days in 1921 Greenwood was set ablaze, bombed, and looted during a racially motivated violent attack. Businesses, homes, and lives were lost, and Black Wall Street has never reclaimed its former glory.

Please join us to watch this important film and learn about this little-known piece of our nation's history together and then break into small groups to share the emotions, thoughts, and issues raised by the film. Click HERE to
