Exploring The Significance Of Black Wall Street                

CBX Vibe:

Black Wall Street has long been a symbol of economic hope and success, due to the entrepreneurial spirit demonstrated by Greenwood residents who thrived together at a time when it wasn't common, in the face of racism and segregation in the early 1900s.

Moreover, he seeks to answer the question, “How do we get back to the blueprint that Black Wall Street had set prior to the travesty?”
