- In 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street, was one of the most prosperous African-American communities in the United States. iloveancestry.... But on May 31 of that year, the Tulsa Tribune reported that a black man, Dick Rowland, attempted to rape a white woman, Sarah Page. Whites in the area refused to wait for the investigative process to play out, sparking two days of unprecedented racial violence.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History recently acquired a collection of home movies filmed by Solomon Sir Jones (1869-1936). The 16 mm film reel shot by the original camera over many years documents Tulsa’s Black Wall Street neighborhood.
The film was donated by the Rev. Anderson’s family through his daughter Pat Sanders. It will be preserved in the museum’s Archives Center, alongside other collections documenting the African American experience, including the extensive collection of materials from the Scurlock photo studio of Washington, D.C. After conservation treatment the film will be available to researchers and scholars.
“This footage is especially important because it looks at the Black Wall Street community through a personal lens,” said Brent D. Glass, director of the museum. “It is rare because so few African American home movies from that time period exist, and it provides viewers with less-mediated footage and an insight into the interdependence of this community.”

This most definitely needs to be made into a mainstream film. The layers of white American HATE needs to be unraveled even further.
@J Sev Both Dems and Repubs are racist.
@J Sev I don`t need to link anything, because everybody knows the republicrooks are just as racist as the democrooks. All you got to do is type in history of racism from the republicans in the google search engine. I aint got prove anything to you that is why i did not bother going on a wild goose to search for something that you even know.
Pathetic comment! Blacks aren't racist? Blacks hate every white person they see, regardless of education, wealth, etc..
@@PPHDocumentaries MaYbe but that flirts with the Don't vote shit, and I am not down with that and REGANS DUMPING CRACK INTO THE HOOD IS THE WORST THING POST SLAVERY AND THEN DONT GET ME STARTED ON TRUMP, REPUBLICANS ARE MUCH WORSE.
@@rayvenblakk5940 Nah i did not mean don`t vote. I was just acknowledging how both parties feel about blacks. I feel like a person should vote for the party that offers the best deal if they offer any deal. Just don`t have to high of a expectation for them.
I wanted Sanders to win. If he would have won the candidacy i probably would have voted for him. But Sanders aint perfect either because he signed the racist 1994 crime bill which targeted blacks for incarceration.
We were and still are so great. They hated the fact that we did so well without their help. Look at us. Amazing!
@Dingle Stingle They were Given LAND, not money, just like everyone was with the Homestead Act.
@@MrCrashDavi And these ppl showed that they could live on their own without any white ppl making false contributions
The people who looted and destroyed Tulsa behaved like wild, jealous, hateful animals. How dare they attack a city of people who had obtained the American Dream?
Because its the "White" American Dream. Everything black people built white people came and took it away and then call us lazy.
Real american indegenous
Most news accounts always omit the looting part...killed and looted.
The American Dream has become handouts!
@@tcams76 I remember reading about the greed of the violent racists that destroyed this town. That was the motivating factor behind all of it, in my opinion: pure greed. Black folks were doing what was their right, exercising their freedoms, and accessing the economic goals and capitalist ideals that American society promoted and encouraged. But greed and hypocrisy kicked in for the psychopaths who attacked Tulsa because they were trying to enforce a double-standard of economic gain for only one community of people. I have always thought that racism has always been a war of greed and battle for dominance over resources--Black/Part Black folks have historically been disenfranchised because of the bigots' greed and avarice.
There was more then one black Wall Street. Google them.
I have been looking for a video for my project on the black wall street and I finally found this one thank you so much the other videos I found made no sense at all
I’m teaching my future children about this. Showing videos, & reading books. Got to love how the narrator didn’t say the WHITE WOMAN LIED!!
Man if I could go back in time and warn my people for what was to come.
If this massacre never happened, we would have not be in this condition we are in now
Not sure how this one incident of whites burning down a town is any different than when blacks have repeatedly burned their own communities that whites paid for them to build
My teachers was so scared to let us watch it all😭🤦♂️
I’m so angry..
All of these people were NOT all former slaves and they weren't GIVEN anything. Like my great-grandparents, they worked hard, saved and bought what they owned. They earned everything they owned! Stop the shady lies 😠😠
Thank you for clearing that up I necker knew. And you heard how the narrator didn’t say the white woman lied! Only that the brother was “falsely accused” these devils…
Imagine what the rest of us could have done if we would have been given the 40 acres and a mule we were promised! This is more than criminal and Tulsa should have to pay reparations for what happened!
They’re currently paying reparations to the native Americans
We had millions of acres... Earned and not given. Then we walked away from it to live with the enemy.
@@JA-jt8eu
The enemy has been supporting the blacks for over a century. Whites are getting tired of supporting a victim culture. What would you have done with 40 acres and a mule?
Pure evil....
The black Wall Street in green Wood Oaklahoma was on a Cherokee Indian reservation.
Those aren’t black folks, those are American Indians and so are the “African Americans.”
super Ant those ppl are blk stupid
@John Vee not some, most, if not all.
Only Indians can live on reservations but please do your own research because they're lying. All of those history books are failed but you believe what you want.
Believe what you want. I don't care.
Those ppl are Black (you knuckle head).
Aboriginal Americans
Why are they trying to act like this wasn’t the doing of the amerikkkan government?
One question. When showing the burning scene, it stated that Fox News had captured the scene. Fox News did not exist until 1996. ????
+
It said fox news captured the only surviving footage. Interesting how these people always end up with our historical artifacts. The recordings of Pastor Solomon Sir Jones are at Yale Beinecke library.
@@Damita-ye2yl wow 😮
Man it's hard to believe that blacks were thriving back then wow.
george abernathy . Oh no believe it . They felt the same way. That’s why they had to erase that. They say Texas and Tennessee had large African American towns springing up that have been removed from history. Trust me that systematic ideology lasted for years after. From bank loans . Business loans etc etc
its not hard to believe
Strong Roots don't die they multiply!
✊💖
The Muskogee Creeks Whirlwind Clan !! They were not people of former slave!! Please stop letting Europeans tell our history!! If anyone gets the opportunity to see All Sir jones silent films its very Interesting!!
This shit gets me emotional every time I watch it. White people still ain't shyt.damn
devils smh
And then they made Tulsa the religious televangelist, capitol, and home to religious college to cover it up!! Now it all makes sense!
Everything was motivational until 0:57
Lets just crop that part out don't want to hear the negative White history always crop out the bad lets just talk about the good.
Karon Rowell the KKK was behind this, too bad you don’t care about how whites looted and killed other Americans because the truth doesn’t care about your fragile feelings. You are complicit and part of the problem
Do not EVER continue with this mentality again. CRITICAL history was made here and WILL be taught so that people never forget. It's like removing 9/11 from history books. You don't.
@@Vestat1 You can't have History without primary sources. Unedited, uncommented footage is the golden standard, for primary sources,like those WW2 Berlin scenes you find on youtube, that's what the OP is annoyed about.
Critical history is important but it can never be allowed to overshadow the actual documented evidence.
CrashDavi Agreed on having cited sources, though my point still stands.
Can anyone tell the name of the song being played?
ALYUHAUUHA THE HEAVENLY FATHER cover and keep you
These films were actually dated in 1926, after Tulsa was rebuilt. So this was kind of misleading
Watchmen brought me here
Why? Just why?
Because white people are inherently evil that’s why.
Yale University has all the footage.
Not slaves, stop saying that in these documentaries as if all those people are the sole resultant of being enslaved which is very false and spreading a lie. They were Indians who built this town and it became known as Black Wallstreet. Some of them came during the trail of tears.
That is the true story of Black Wallstreet.
Most of them were Blacks and some of them were mixed race Black and Indian. Your post is misleading and incomplete, and by the way I am part Cherokee.
Black Wall Street in Greenwood Oklahoma was on iton a Cherokee reservation. The African-American is the American Indian and indigenous to the Americas(plural)
