Black Wall Street (Tulsa, Oklahoma Massacre)
Black Wall Street was located in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. This area was the home to over 100,000 African Americans who had previously been slaves. These people came to Greenwood looking for a new life and they built this community from the ground up.
Deputy U.S. Marshall Bass Reeves
I’d like to introduce you to the story of Bass Reeves. I’m not saying that the Lone Ranger was inspired by his story, but I am telling you that out of all of the rangers operating to the West of the Mississippi, Bass Reeves was the baddest of them all.
