“The Legacy of Black Wall Street<\/a>“<\/strong> tracks the rise of Black Wall Street in Oklahoma’s Greenwood District up until the tragic 1921 Tulsa race massacre that destroyed the 36-block booming business epicenter. The commemorative documentary special shifts the narrative from the massacre itself to amplify the voices of those Black pioneers then who went West to build their American dream, weaving their stories with the inspiring modern-day Black pioneers now who continue the path to healing and rebuilding the rise of the Black community who presently occupy Greenwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the documentary various experts, financial professionals, and iconic historians and professors such as Dr. Angela Davis, Dr. Ellora Derenoncourt as well as Representative Regina Goodwin and J.

The Greenwood district of Tulsa is founded by Black pioneers in 1906. By the 1920s, it is a hub for families, entrepreneurs and entertainment called “Black Wall Street”. When the residents are attacked by an angry mob in May of 1921, however, they must risk their lives for their beloved community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premieres Tuesday, June 8 (9 p.m. \u2013 10 p.m. ET\/PT) \u2013 Part 2<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the 1921 massacre, Tula’s Greenwood district rises again, despite obstacles from integration, urban renewal and gentrification. Today, a new generation of entrepreneurs and leaders follow the path of their ancestors and are determined to ensure that Black Wall Street lives forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
