1921 Massacre Survivors

1921 – 1921

The survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre represent a resilient community whose thriving economy and cultural richness were brutally disrupted by systemic violence. Despite the destruction of Greenwood, often known as 'Black Wall Street,' these individuals exemplified the spirit of resistance and recovery, laying the groundwork for future civil rights movements and raising awareness about racial injustices in America.
