One of the cultural benefits of streamed programming is how much great historical nonfiction it has opened up to millions of viewers. With its vast archive of historical productions, PBS has embraced this platform like few others, and one of its best documentaries is now available for viewing.
âGoinâ Back to T-Town,â an outstanding 1993 film by Sam Pollard, tells the story of one of the worst racial incidents in American history as we approach the centennial of the event May 31-June 1. The PBS franchise âAmerican Experienceâ is now streaming the film about Greenwood, a thriving Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the 1920s and â30s. The district was burned to the ground by white people in 1921, but came back and by 1936 was said to have more Black-owned businesses than any city in the country. It was known as the Black Wall Street.
