  Black Wallstreet: The Untold Story  
(Diversity)

The date was June 1, 1921, when Black Wallstreet, the name fittingly given to one of the most affluent all-black communities in America, was bombed from the air and burned to the ground by mobs of envious whites. In a period spanning fewer than 12 hours, a once thriving 36-black business district in northern Tulsa lay smoldering-A model community destroyed, and a major Africa-American economic movement resoundingly defused. The members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. would like to invite the general public to learn more about the untold American story of a thriving and affluent African-American town that was burned to the ground due to jealousy, deceit, and discrimination by white racists in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
