Rebuilding Black Wall Street will trace the century-long impact of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre and chronicle the resilient community rebuilding.
Tulsa's Greenwood District, better known as Black Wall Street where Black business leaders, homeowners and civic leaders thrived. On May 31, 1921, and into the next day, a mob destroyed that district in what has been called the single most horrific incident of racial terrorism since slavery. An estimated 300 people were killed, more than 1,200 homes destroyed, and at least 60 businesses and community buildings burned to the ground.
Today, the Greenwood District is a community rebuilding, a journey of strength and joy examined in this unique uplifting renovation docuseries. Over the course of six episodes, host Morris Chestnut and build teams, led by designers Jon Pierre and Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin, guide viewers through Greenwood's rich history and the personal journeys of those featured - many of whom are the descendants of original Black Wall Street residents. As new businesses and projects progress, viewers will experience the physical and emotional challenges that come with large-scale construction and celebrate the promise of Greenwood's future.
