Utopia Black 2022
On May 31, 1921, violence erupted in Greenwood, a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Within 24 hours, the thriving black community, which has come to be known as Black Wall Street, had been torched and burned to the ground. Historians, blinded by innate, yet, barely perceptible biases, massaged the details. The result, intentionally or otherwise, was a expunging of critical facts; erasing the shameful massacre of innocent men, women, and children from the annals of history. But the tale of the terrible deed refused do die.
A lone survivor emerged out of the throes of the chaos. The legacy of Black Wall Street survived with him, and largely because of him, a movement was born. From the ashes of Greenwood, a clear path to liberty and justice for all, was paved.
