    • Society & Culture

A Centennial Remembrance of "Black Wall Street":
On May 30, 1921, Greenwood – home to a city of Black strivers – stood tall. Two days later, it was a smoldering rubble. In what is considered the worst race riot in U.S. history, hundreds were murdered as White marauders backed by local government took to the streets in rage; leaving bodies – many decapitated, tarred and feathered, burned alive – in their wake and 10,000 people homeless. Hannibal Johnson--author and attorney--on "Black Wall Street" and a community's rise "Up From the Ashes."
