In
the heartland of America there once was a Black Community Paradise more
than 600 businesses strong. Among these were 21 churches, 30
restaurants, 41 grocery stores, libraries, schools, law offices, a
hospital, a bank, a post office, six privately owned airplanes, a bus
system, and two movie theaters all within a 36 block radius. The year
was 1921 in Greenwood, Tulsa Oklahoma aka Black Wall Street. Our hidden
history comes alive onstage!
