It's sad to say that most people don't know what Black Wall Street is. However, I am going to answer the question. Black Wall Street (also known as the Tulsa Race Riot or Little Africa), was once a community full of black-owned businesses in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The year was 1921, Not too long after slavery supposedly "ended." "Colored" people were finally free.

And, to make a long story short, a group of angry racist "white" people, as well as members of the Klu Klux Klan, attacked an all black community. They were bombed from the air, destroying over 600 businesses, killing over 15,000 African Americans and even more lost their homes. There were 21 churches and restaurants, 30 grocery stores, two movie theaters, a hospital, a post office, libraries, law offices, a private airplane company, school systems, and a bus system.

But Why?? Why kill so many innocent people? Why destroy a whole community of black people? See the answer was simple: these people were angry racists bigots who did not want to see former slaves succeed in life. Especially at the rate at which they were doing so. However, there is more to the story but you have to wait for the next article.
