Greenwood and the surrounding residential area was referred to as “Black Wall Street.” It was the wealthiest black community in United States. Native Americans and African-Americans became wealthy thanks to the discovery of oil in the early 1900s on what had previously been seen as worthless land. Some also came with Native Americans who were forcibly marched there during Trail of Tears.įollowing World War I, Tulsa was recognized nationally for its affluent African American community known as the Greenwood District.

One thing I really appreciate in science fiction, are aliens who are truly alien. It bodes well for our future married life that my wife obviously knows me extremely well, since undoubtedly like it I did. During our honeymoon, one thing my lady and I did was begin reading David Brin's The Uplift War, one of her favourite science fiction books, and one which, she assured me, I'd definitely like. ![]() |
