Greenwood Rising
Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center
An immersive history center that tells the story of Black Wall Street's prosperity and the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. It is worth a quiet, reflective visit.
Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center opened in 2021, on the centenary of the massacre. Using audiovisual installations, holograms and reconstructed scenes, it tells the story of the prosperity of Greenwood's Black community in the early 20th century, and the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, in which white mobs burned the neighborhood and hundreds of people were killed. It also explores reconciliation and justice. Admission is free but requires an online timed reservation. The museum is closed on Mondays; check the official website.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 10:00–17:00 (check official website)
