CASPER â Tulsa, Oklahomaâs Greenwood District was home to more Black millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the U.S. in the early 1900s. It was a neighborhood of concentrated, generational wealth for Black communities. And in 1921, it was bombed and burned to the ground by a mob of white Tulsans in an event known today as the Tulsa race massacre.
The University of Wyomingâs Black Studies Center held a panel Feb. 15 to discuss the legacy of that moment and reflect on the film âBefore They Die,â which interviewed survivors of the Greenwood Districtâs destruction.
