Black Wall Street: The Massacre They Erased

In 1921, Tulsa's Greenwood District—nicknamed "Black Wall Street"—was one of the most prosperous Black communities in the United States. Within 18 hours, it was systematically destroyed in what historians now recognize as one of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history. This wasn't a riot. It was a massacre. For decades, this atrocity was deliberately erased from textbooks and public memory. Insurance companies refused to pay survivors by calling it a "riot." The city blamed the victims. No one was held accountable. But the truth cannot remain buried forever. This video reveals the verified facts about the Tulsa Race Massacre, backed by official government reports, eyewitness testimony, and historical archives. From the aerial bombing to the internment camps, from the economic devastation to the resilient rebuilding—this is the story they didn't want you to know.
