TGHusker Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 17 hours ago, BigRedBuster said: There are events scheduled all week here in Tulsa. I think Tulsa is facing what it had ignored for 75 of those 100 years. The Greenwood District was the 'Black Wall Street of America' back in the early 1900s. Perhaps the most prosperous African American community in all of the USA. And then the Massacre occurred. For years it was called a Race Riot - an attempt to evade the truth of what it really was. Greenwood rebuilt and over the decades it began to proper again. But by the 1960s due to many reasons, including Red Lining, it fell into disrepair and decay. It was then targeted by the planners of Interstate I-244 - the Crosstown Expressway. It went right through the middle of it as it crossed to the northeast side of downtown. As the Tulsa World story this pass Sunday said - it took the heart out of the Greenwood Business District. Now there is development on each side of the interstate - new baseball field, OSU-Tulsa campus, etc - but the district is divided. There is hope that Biden's proposals on rebuilding neighborhoods will help this area to somehow become reunited again on each side of the interstate. However, the sigma of 1921 remains - no one wants to venture into 'north Tulsa' after dark. When you destroy a healthy community that Greenwood was (business and residential), you destroy families, futures. North Tulsa wouldn't have the sigma attached to it of being crime filled and divided if the events of 1921 had not occurred. 2 Link to comment

Most of us had never heard of this event until recently. Those involved are long dead as you mention so obviously there will be no accountability there, other than association. 2 Link to comment
