About Greenwood Rising

Greenwood Rising is a history center on Greenwood Avenue that tells the story of Tulsa's historic Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street. Galleries trace how the African American community came to this place, the struggles it faced and the wealthy community it built, then frame the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Along the way, a period barbershop comes to life with holographic barbers, and a projection-mapped film shows Greenwood rising brick by brick.
