このコンテンツについて
This isn't just a story about racial violence. It's about the rise and deliberate destruction of Black Wall Street, a thriving African American community in Tulsa’s Greenwood District, built from the ground up by formerly enslaved people and their descendants. We explore how Greenwood became an extraordinary economic powerhouse, home to hundreds of Black-owned businesses, luxury homes, and professional services. But its success drew deadly envy.
On May 31, 1921, fueled by a false accusation and a white mob’s rage, a coordinated attack—backed by police, the National Guard, and even private aircraft—unleashed fire and terror on Greenwood. Within 24 hours, the district was reduced to ashes. This wasn’t a riot. It was a military-style assault, complete with aerial bombings and mass internment of Black residents. While official records claimed only 39 deaths, survivors and researchers estimate the toll was in the hundreds. The trauma didn’t end with the destruction. The city, media, and insurance companies orchestrated a cover-up so effective that the massacre vanished from textbooks and public memory for nearly 80 years.
We track the slow rediscovery of this buried truth—through survivors’ voices, modern archaeological efforts to locate mass graves, and renewed calls for justice and reparations. The massacre's impact still ripples through generations, symbolizing not just what was lost but what was stolen.This episode challenges listeners to confront America’s historical amnesia and reckon with the systems that erase inconvenient truths. It's a tribute to those who built Black Wall Street and those who perished defending it—a story that demands to be remembered.
