Rare Color Footage Black Wall Street Filmed by Solomon Sir Jones

In 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street, was one of the most prosperous African-American communities in the United States. https://iloveancestry.com/tulsa-race-... But on May 31 of that year, the Tulsa Tribune reported that a black man, Dick Rowland, attempted to rape a white woman, Sarah Page. Whites in the area refused to wait for the investigative process to play out, sparking two days of unprecedented racial violence.

The 16 mm film reel shot by the original camera over many years documents Tulsa’s Black Wall Street neighborhood. The film was donated by the Rev. Anderson’s family through his daughter Pat Sanders. It will be preserved in the museum’s Archives Center, alongside other collections documenting the African American experience, including the extensive collection of materials from the Scurlock photo studio of Washington, D.C. After conservation treatment the film will be available to researchers and scholars. “This footage is especially important because it looks at the Black Wall Street community through a personal lens,” said Brent D. Glass, director of the museum. “It is rare because so few African American home movies from that time period exist, and it provides viewers with less-mediated footage and an insight into the interdependence of this community.” I Love Ancestry just happens to be a global issue advocacy campaign that explore identity, diversity, heritage and culture, highlighting the experiences of marginalized people, and indigenous communities around the world.
