Greenwood

Greenwood was a prosperous neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known as \"Black Wall Street.\" It was a self-sufficient business district created by African Americans in the early 20th century. The neighborhood was tragically targeted by a white mob during the Tulsa race massacre of 1921. This violent event, which began on May 31, 1921, resulted in the deaths of 30 to 300 people, predominantly African Americans. Over 1,400 homes and businesses in Greenwood were destroyed, leaving nearly 10,000 people homeless. Despite its historical significance, the massacre was largely omitted from history books until the late 1990s.1234
