Greenwood Renaissance

The Greenwood Renaissance, which emerged in the early 20th century, particularly during the 1920s in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a flourishing period for African American entrepreneurship, culture, and community. This vibrant neighborhood, often referred to as 'Black Wall Street', was marked by a wealth of Black-owned businesses, cultural institutions, and educational facilities that fostered a strong sense of community and resilience against the backdrop of systemic racism.
