Visit Black Wall Street Tour

In 1921 an attack on Black Tulsa was so atrocious that city leaders tried to hide the truth. Our tour of Greenwood is about how African Americans arrived in Oklahoma, how Black Wall Street prospered, why it was attacked, how it got rebuilt, and why it was later dismantled.

OUR MISSION

The Black Wall Street Chamber of Commerce (BWSCC) is a non-profit membership-based organization formed to promote the sound economic well-being of African American-owned businesses. The BWSCC serves as an advocate to unify, promote and empower the African American community through entrepreneurship, programming, economic development, education, and training in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

HISTORY

Honoring Black Wall Street in Tulsa

Tulsa, Oklahoma's Black Wall Street epitomized African American resilience and economic empowerment in the early 20th century, flourishing as a hub of entrepreneurship and cultural pride. The Greenwood district was an epicenter for thriving Black businesses with a self-sustaining economy, and proudly stood as one of the most affluent African American neighborhoods in the nation.

This unprecedented prosperity was abruptly halted by the racially-incited Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, where hundreds of Black-owned businesses and homes were hatefully destroyed. Despite the immense trauma, Greenwood’s community rebuilt, steadfast and determined.

Today, the legacy of Black Wall Street serves as a poignant reminder of both Black excellence and the systemic disparities that threaten the access to an equitable future. With continued resilience and progress, the legacy of Black Wall Street still echoes throughout the Greenwood district and serves as a reference Black American’s ability to thrive economically, culturally, and socially across the nation.
