Virtual Event
Event Details
The writers of history often times leave out the details of a full story and we want to fill in the blanks. Join us as we shed light on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre (also known as the Tulsa Race Riots), a historic event that led to the destruction of Black Wall Street, a community of wealth and prosperity for many Black Americans in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the early 1900’s. We will dive into its history and hear from a guest panel of Black entrepreneurs that are sure to inspire you to start your own business or non-profit organization!
