The Dr.Vibe Show: Bridging The Gap Between History & Hip-Hop: Black Wall Street, Greenwood Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921 (Part 1 OF 5)

Black Wall Street

“Bridging The Gap Between History & Hip-Hop: Black Wall Street, Greenwood Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921” is the story told by a group of successful African Americans, of a 36-square block section of North Tulsa, Oklahoma where over 600 thriving African American businesses prospered. Numerous educated African American doctors, lawyers, teachers, business owners, oil men and entrepreneurs actually controlled their own destinies in a society that prevented them from venturing into other parts of the city. Strict Jim Crow laws were set-up and made it illegal for African Americans to go into other parts of the city, except to work for a White family or business. Curfew laws were set up and were strictly enforced. At one point, something fascinating began to happen – the black dollar was circulating throughout the African American community numerous times. There were several African American millionaires and dozens of wealthy African American business owners who actually made Black Wall Street successful. They owned private airplanes, a bus line, restaurants, general stores, feed and grain stores, beauty salons, real estate companies, nightclubs, hotels, a bank, schools, churches and two theaters- one of which had over seven hundred seats. During those times the KKK practically owned and controlled the entire state of Oklahoma. They eventually set out to systematically destroy this major African American economic movement in their midst. At the end of the presentation, a series of questions is asked to a group of successful African Americans in hopes of taking what the community of Black Wall Street started back in the early 1900s and now implementing it in todays time with the culture of Hip-Hop.
