Darius Kirk looks at a mural depicting the Tulsa Race Massacre

in the historic Greenwood neighbourhood

ahead of centennial commemorations of the massacre.

The area, originally known as Black Wall Street,

was destroyed a hundred years ago

when a murderous white mob laid waste to what was the nation’s

most prosperous Black-owned business district

and residential neighbourhood.
