About this listen

 As Greenwood became more prosperous, white Tulsa became more resentful. By 1921, Black Wall Street was flourishing; over 10,000 Black residents called the area home. But the persistent presence of lynching culture hung over the thriving, bustling district. What may have been only a brief misunderstanding in an elevator snowballed into one of the worst acts of racial violence in the country’s history, largely due to the actions of a white-owned newspaper, The Tulsa Tribune. Note: This episode features descriptions of racial violence.
