About This Event
Join us for an important conversation about a thriving community destroyed and a history long hidden. In 1921, Greenwood—known as "Black Wall Street"—was one of the most prosperous African American neighborhoods in America. Over two days, it was burned to the ground in one of the worst acts of racial violence in U.S. history. For decades, this tragedy was erased from textbooks and public memory. Learn about the resilient people who built Greenwood, the devastation they endured, and why remembering this history matters today.
This program offers a space to reflect, discuss, and honor the truth of our shared past.
This is a free program but requires registration.
