The Legacy of Black Wall Street

June marks the 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre -- one of the worst incidents of racial violence in US history, claiming the lives of 300 African-Americans living, working, and thriving in a neighborhood known as Black Wall Street. After a white mob prompted two days of deadly violence, the events were largely forgotten for decades. A century later, in the wake of 2020’s racial justice protests and George Floyd’s murder, survivors of the massacre shared their experience with Congress. CNBC’s Frank Holland reports from Tulsa, Oklahoma, reflecting on those survivor testimonies and the legacy of Black Wall Street. In a conversation about Black representation in finance and beyond, BET Founder and RLJ Companies founder Robert Johnson considers the impact--and the intention--of businesses pledging money and support to the Black community.
