In Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Greenwood District was a prosperous African-American community, often referred to as Black Wall Street. In 1921, simmering racial tensions erupted into a violent attack when a false accusation against a Black man ignited a devastating rampage by white mobs. The resulting fire destroyed the 35-block neighborhood, obliterating homes and businesses and forever altering the landscape of Tulsa. This documentary explores the tragic events and uncovers the painful truth behind the destruction of Black Wall Street.
