Executive produced by NBA superstar and philanthropist Russell Westbrook, and directed by Peabody and Emmy-Award® winning director Stanley Nelson (“Freedom Riders”) and Peabody and duPont-Award winner Marco Williams (“Two Towns of Jasper”), the documentary commemorates the 100th anniversary of the horrific Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the worst acts of racial violence in American history, and calls attention to the previously ignored but necessary repair of a town once devastated.
In the 1920s, the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, also known as Black Wall Street, was one of the most prosperous African American communities in the United States. Filled with booming businesses and thriving entrepreneurs, the district served as a mecca of Black ingenuity and promise, until the evening of May 31, 1921, which marked the start of the devastating Tulsa Race Massacre. More than thirty-five city blocks were burned to the ground and hundreds of Black city dwellers were killed. The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 is one of the most tragic moments in our nation’s history, yet this harrowing event is largely unknown to many Americans. It is an often-overlooked story that needs to be told.
“Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre” takes an in-depth, sobering look at the tragic events of a century ago and focuses on a specific period, from the birth of Black Wall Street, to its catastrophic downfall over the course of two bloody days, and finally the fallout and reconstruction. The documentary also follows the city’s current-day grave excavation efforts at Oaklawn Cemetery where numerous unmarked coffins of victims who were killed and buried during the massacre have been recovered. It will also feature rare archival footage and imagery from the time, coupled with commentary and interviews from numerous historians, city leaders, and activists, including the Tulsa Historical Society & Museum, the John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation, the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission and the Historic Vernon A.M.E. Church, among others.

That community was absolute proof that Blacks were NOT lazy or ignorant. Or any of the other negative descriptive terms said of them by White racists. They were determined to have the kind of life they dreamed of having, and accomplished those goals with their own hard work. They didn't enslave other races, forcing others to bow and scrape while they reaped the rewards. Whites couldn't stand to see the great achievements in the Greenwood community. I've seen a documentary about this, the horror and destruction of the great success of that community. Every one of the monsters who had a hand in the destruction should have been put to death. EVERY one of them.

Same thing happened in Durham, Wilmington, and Rosewood, Florida. Many prosperous black communities existed. Many people don’t know. The reason why Atlanta is a black city. Is because in 1906 whites tried to do the same thing and riot to take away black assets. They actually fought back and had a treaty signed with the whites. Now look at it. We could have had many thriving black cities.

@@whayes8084 i've heard there were hundreds of them throughout the United States, possibly even more than that.

[@dustfreequeen5151]

I did a report on this in the 7th grade and many other massacres in America. I'm 37 now and shocked at how many people that never heard of this. Rosewood too!

[@aaronvallejo8220]

Bravo History Channel! More actual deep history please with primary sources. Remove your pop shows. For long term peaceful civilization, strong democracy, enlightened self interest and mutual respect we need to learn honestly from our shared history so we do not repeat tragedies...we replicate and escalate opportunities for all through good national policies.

It's hard to believe any human being could do this to another. It took a lot of hate. But, it's on their souls to have worked it out, not ours. We are not blaming anyone today just wondering..how long? The greatest pain after everything is having to struggle against voter suppression. Thought we had won that battle. Blessings to the righteous ones that exposed this horror. Thank you.

@@nmatky9327 Stacey Abrams is a politician for the exact same organization that has brutalized minorities in this country for centuries and keeps her own people in constant poverty to this very day. The Democrat Party is a stain upon this country and every man, woman, and child here would be enriched (and this goes 10x for minorities) if they were to disappear tomorrow. It's nothing to do with the Republicans, the Democrats are simply evil.

Greenwood has never been commonly called Black Wallstreet by any Tulsan! I lived at Pine & Peoria and have never heard anyone call it anything but Greenwood. Ronnie Wilson called his band Greenwood, Archer & Pine ( GAP Band) not Black Wallstreet. Not one massacre survivor uses the words” Black Wallstreet “ in their interviews on video. Every one of them said “Greenwood!”

Just wanted people to know that Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum presented a proposed municipal ordinance to aimed at cracking down on people experiencing homelessness. He introduced and raised literally every type of tax pushing business and people in poverty. Think twice before moving or living in tulsa county. I would recommend surrounding counties. Atlast most importantly don't vote for him again.

Oh like your propaganda that you listen to for example Fox News which teaches you that this is just another false lie stirred up by the left when in reality the one thing Fox News hates is an educated black man or an educated black person and the reason they don’t mention or they never mention Tulsa was because it was a presentation of black people building themselves up
