The Date Was June 1, 1921, “BLACK WALLSTREET”

The Tulsa lynching of 1921 a hidden story of the first 9/11

The name fittingly given to one of the most affluent All-BLACK Communities in America, was bombed from the air and Burned to the ground by mobs of envious Whites.

In a period spanning fewer than 12 hours, a once thriving Black Business District in northern Tulsa lay smoldering — a model Community destroyed and a major African-American economic movement resoundingly defused.

The Night’s Carnage left some 3,000 African Americans Dead and over 600 Successful Businesses Lost.

Among these were 21 Churches, 21 Restaurants, 30 Grocery Stores and 2 Movie Theaters, plus A Hospital, A Bank, a Post Office, Libraries, Schools, Law Offices, a half dozen Private Airplanes and even A Bus System.

As could have been expected, the impetus behind it all was the infamous Ku Klux Klan, working in consort with
Ranking City Officials and many other Sympathizers.

The best description of BLACK WALL STREET, or Little Africa as it was also known, would be to compare it to a mini — Berverly Hills.

It was the golden door of the BLACK Community during the early 1900’s, and it proved that African Americans
could create a successful infrastructure.

That’s What BLACK WALLSTREET, Was All About.

The Dollar circulated 36 to 100 Times, sometimes taking a year for currency to leave the Community.

Now a Dollar leaves the BLACK Community in 15-minutes.

As Far As Resources, there were Ph.D.’s residing in Little Africa, BLACK Attorneys and Doctors.

One Doctor was Dr. Berry who owned the Bus System. His average income was $500 a Day, a hefty pocket change in 1910.

It was a time when the entire State of Oklahoma had only 2 Airports, yet 6 BLACKS, Owned their own Planes.
It was a very Fascinating Community.

The mainstay of the Community was to educate every child.

Nepotism was the one word they Believed in. And that’s what we need to get back to.

The main thoroughfare was Greenwood Avenue, and it was intersected by Archer and Pine Streets.

From the First Letters in each of those Three Names you get G.A.P. And that’s where the renowned R&B Music
Group The GAP Band got its name. They’re From Tulsa.

BLACK WALLSTREET was a prime example of the typical, BLACK Community in America that did businesses, but it was in an unusual location.

You See, At The Time, Oklahoma was set aside to be a BLACK and Indian State.

There were over 28 BLACK Townships there. One third of the People who traveled in the terrifying “Trail of Tears” along side the Indians between 1830 and 1842 were BLACK People.

The Citizens of this proposed Indian and BLACK State chose A BLACK Governor, A Treasurer from Kansas named McDade.

But the Ku Klux Klan said that if he assumed Office they’d Kill Him within 48 hours. A lot of BLACKS owned Farmland, and many of them had gone into the Oil Business. The Community was so tight and Wealthy because they traded Dollars hand-to-hand, and because they were dependent upon one another as a result of the Jim Crow Laws.

It was not unusual that if a Resident’s Home accidentally Burned down, it could be rebuilt within a few weeks by Neighbors.

This was the type of scenario that was going on Day-to-Day on BLACK WALL STREET.

When BLACK’s intermarried into the Indian Culture, some of them received their promised ’40 Acres and A Mule’
and with that came whatever Oil was later found on the Properties.

My name is Joe, I'm a white man. I watched the presentation and read many of the comments. I have to say the experience has been discouraging and disheartening. I am 52 years old. I moved from OKC to the Tulsa area 23 years ago. I had heard of "The Tulsa Race Riots" but never realized the size of this atrocity until I watched this show. I would like to let the Black people who leave comments to know this. Not all white people are like the arrogant ignorant KKK. In fact most men either Black or White strive in life for the same things. We want to build homes and families, raise children ect. I believe in a GOD who is kind and doesn't see skin color. Before you comment……if you claim to be Christian……remember we are all created in his image.
GOD's blessings be on all men that read this.

Now you know why the lord says, in the bible. Prepare for slaughter of his children. I did not say this the bible says this

Pecola Raysor says:

And black is a skin color not a nation of people just like white is a skin color , the elites and other people in power of this world changed the proper tribes for everyone to the names we have today.

Pecola Raysor says:

Also I want to add that some blacks are from the seed of Ham which is a different groups of people and the people from the seed of Shem are where the Jews , hebrews come in as well as Arabics

Mississippi Dude says:

It takes someone on whole other level of DEMONIC to commit these kinds of crimes that these White people did WITH EASE! They murdered these Black men, women and CHILDREN in cold blood, without a THOUGHT! And even to this very day, in 2017, they will find ways to justify, make excuses for, ignore or just flat out LIE about historical events like this! PURE EVIL!

does anyone know the song that begins at an hour and 19 minutes?

mystic1921 “Dee” A says:

Sadly black people don't invest in their own communities like they did during Black Wall Street, Black people had no choice but to invest in their communities and were able to built decent schools for black children, thriving businesses, a library, a movie theater, banks and a hospital. This was a horrible, horrendous history that happened to black Americans and the lesson to learn from this it that black people should and need to create mentoring programs, they need to address the problems that plague communities in order to save black youth from self destruction that we see in black youth killing each other, drugs, fatherless homes, gangs and poverty. Where are the black mentors where are the role models for black youth? They should exist throughout black communities. Where are the people who are trying to reach and save our youth? Who is willing to of reach out and saving black youth lives who are risk of spending their entire lives in jail, cycles of poverty or death. It's time for black leaders to stop being talkers and start creating programs and resources to save black youth who are dying everyday. While at the same time never to forget what has happened historically to black people in this country. Let not historical wrongs consume us to a point where we can't problem solve to find solutions to become the greatest that we are capable of. WAKE UP.

Peace n black power family

Reezy37 says:

So America had its second civil war.

Reezy37 says:

Although not all white people are evil the fact is compared to other races whites have committed the most horrific crimes of any race. From the colonization of the Americas and Australia, to the enslavement of Africans and the Scramble for Africa, the conquest of Asian countries such as India, racial terrorism in America, the destruction of democratic governments around the world because of the CIA, the Japanese internment camps and much more.
