Greenwood District

Also called: Historic Greenwood District, Greenwood, Black Wall Street, Greenwood Tulsa, Greenwood neighborhood, Black Wallstreet

A historic district in Tulsa, famous as Black Wall Street, that grew in the early 1900s into a busy center of Black-owned businesses and culture. Much of it was destroyed in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, and today it has restaurants, shops, art and the Greenwood Rising history center. For founders it is a reminder of Tulsa's long history of Black entrepreneurship.

For example: A founder visiting Tulsa spends an afternoon in the Greenwood District, eats at a local restaurant and tours Greenwood Rising to learn the history of Black Wall Street.
