Tulsa - Black Wall Street

A must visit , emotional and shocking. Just left Oklahoma and had watched a documentary about Black Wall Street.prior to my visit. This should be a pilgrimage and not so called “Arts District”.walking through the streets I truly felt the presence of those who walked the same blocks. Unfortunately it is now more known for its new name and the Bob Dillion museum and most of the people that I came with didn’t realize that this memorial was just a few blocks away. I came away more determined not allow our common past to be erased by the perpetrators but to build memorials so we can learn not to repeat the mistakes of our forefathers.
