    It is the year 1921, and at the intersection of Greenwood and Archer, stands the iconic Black Wall Street. This bustling area is home to over 300 businesses, all receiving immense support from the dedicated residents of this vibrant community.

    In an era marked by racial segregation in America, a single significant event propels a minor spark into a raging inferno. Black Wall Street: The Spirit of Community delves deep into the heart of the thriving Black-owned businesses and residential district situated in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

    This compelling narrative recounts the resilience of a community as it rises from the ashes of tragedy, rekindling its legacy of entrepreneurship, success, and the invaluable essence of community spirit. The ripple effects of these events resonated far and wide, influencing the trajectory of countless other communities across the nation.
