Local Historian Speaks About Greenwood s History

A local historian gave a lesson to the Tulsa Regional Chamber about the history of Greenwood this morning. Hannibal Johnson is the chair of the education committee for the Race Massacre Centennial Commission and the author of Black Wall Street 100: An American City Grapples With Its Historical Racial Trauma. Johnson spoke about misconceptions he hears about Greenwood. One is that Greenwood disappeared after the massacre. Johnson said one reason why the Greenwood massacre was more devastating than other racially motivated attacks was because planes dropped incendiary devices A lot of people I talk with don t understand that the Greenwood community was destroyed, but it was rebuilt. It actually peaked in the early-to-mid 1940 s, said Johnson.

Newman Before the Tulsa Race Massacre, the cityâs African American district thrived as a community of business leaders and visionaries. As more is learned about the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, including the discovery of mass graves, the stories of the African Americans who turned the city’s Greenwood district into “Black Wall Street” are equally as revealing. Before a white mob decimated 35 blocks of a thriving community, African Americans had migrated to Tulsa, pooling their resources and building wealth to create successful businesses amid Jim Crow discrimination.
