Take Action
Preserve Black Wall Street as a national monument
The historic Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was once a bustling Black community full of businesses and residences, commonly known as Black Wall Street.
On May 31, 1921, Black Wall Street was burned down by a white mob that killed hundreds of people and left thousands more without homes. This attack destroyed the wealthiest Black community in its time, and spurred long-lasting effects on generations of residents of Oklahoma and beyond.
It is well past time that Black Wall Street becomes recognized as a symbol of Black excellence and enterprise. Urge President Biden to use the Antiquities Act to preserve Black Wall Street as a national monument today.
