1921 Awards

Also called: Build in Tulsa 1921 Awards, 1921 Award

Build in Tulsa's yearly awards, launched in 2023, for Tulsa entrepreneurs who carry on the legacy of Greenwood, once known as Black Wall Street. Each award comes with a grant, which 1921 Sankofa's support doubled in 2025.

For example: A Tulsa coffee shop owner who mentors young people is nominated for a 1921 Award and receives a grant along with the recognition.
