Black Wall Street 100 Year Commemorative

Today is a special Edition of the show and podcast. This weekend America is remembering an d commentating the 100 year Anniversary of the Black Wall Street Massacre which took place between May 31 and June 1 1921 in Tulsa OK or the Greenwood District.  Black Wall street was the epitome of Black empowerment and wealth creation of a Black community of some former slaves that many turned from rags to riches.  It proved that it can be done and done again and again.  Building a prosperous community and economy with no outside help is what make this story so inspiring for us today…it removes the excuses!

This exciting and vibrant community came to an abrupt halt when jealous race angry mobs came in to kill, steal and destroy this community.  But like every powerful story, it has a good ending.

Today on the show we will share clips from interviews of survivors of the massacre such as Dr. Olivia Hooker, storytellers including Hannibal B. Johnson the author of BlacK Wall Street From RIOT to Renaissance and even an interview with Actor and Author Hill Harper with a future Black Wall Street endeavor that is pretty exciting.  

I hope that the sounds and voices in this show will not only entertain but also educating you, Encourage and Empower you to perhaps build something yourself refusing to use the excuse of lack of opportunity.

Build YOUR Black Wall Street!

If you can, visit Tulsa OK for its 100 year Anniversary events and new museums this weekend.

Well lets jump right in and I hope you enjoy the show!
