About the Book

In the early 20th century, Tulsa's Greenwood District, affectionately known as "Black Wall Street," stood as a beacon of African American prosperity and resilience. This vibrant community boasted successful businesses, elegant homes, and a thriving cultural scene. Yet, in a harrowing act of racial violence, this flourishing enclave was reduced to ashes during the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most devastating episodes of racial violence in American history.

"Black Wall Street: A Dream Deterred" delves into the heart-wrenching stories of the men, women, and children who built, lived, and thrived in Greenwood. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, this book traces the community's rise, the catastrophic destruction it faced, and the long, arduous journey toward justice and recognition.

Explore the tireless efforts of survivors and descendants who, despite systemic barriers and societal indifference, fought for reparations and acknowledgment. From the determined legal battles led by Black lawyers like Buck Colbert Franklin to the contemporary voices advocating for historical justice, this book illuminates the enduring struggle for equity and remembrance.

In a powerful epilogue, the narrative extends beyond Tulsa, shedding light on other Black communities like Rosewood, Seneca Village, and Oscarville, similarly devastated by racial violence. Their stories underscore a recurring pattern of hatred-fueled destruction and the ongoing fight against systemic racism and economic inequality.

"Black Wall Street: A Dream Deterred" is not only a historical account but also a poignant reflection on the broader issues of racial injustice that persist today. It calls for a collective acknowledgment of these past atrocities and a renewed commitment to building a future rooted in love, justice, and equality. Through the lessons of Black Wall Street, this book emphasizes the power of community, the importance of preserving history, and the necessity of love in overcoming hate.

Gripping, enlightening, and ultimately hopeful, "Black Wall Street: A Dream Deterred" is a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the past and transform the future.
