Built From the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, America’s Black Wall Street | Victor Luckerson | $10

  • 3025 Bull Street Savannah, Georgia 31405 United States (map)

Black Wall Street was a model of African-American achievement and community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, until angry white mobs in 1921 rampaged and burned, brutalized and killed, relegating Greenwood to ashes in reality and history. In an interview with author Wanda Llloyd, Tulsa-based journalist and writer Victor Luckerson brings the history to life.

This event includes a reception of wine and appetizers. Copies of the authors book are available for purchase following the lecture.

This program is a partnership among TLC, the Association for the Study of African-American Life and History (ASALH), and The Book Lady bookstore.
