Greenwood descendants

The descendants of Greenwood, a thriving community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, exemplify the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of African Americans in the early 20th century. This vibrant neighborhood, often referred to as 'Black Wall Street,' was known for its flourishing businesses, cultural richness, and innovations in music and arts, which played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights movement. Despite facing devastating racial violence, the legacy of the Greenwood descendants continues to inspire generations in their pursuit of equity, education, and empowerment.
