Black Wall Street (BWS) is a hidden gem of Black History and a defining one for American History. Emerging in the 1900s, the city of Greenwood, Oklahoma just 5 minutes from Tulsa, became known as Black Wall Street for its ambitious black entrepreneurs dedicated to being successful by any means necessary.

With 10,000 residents, this city epitomized Black Excellence in an era that was segregated and saturated with racism. Black Wall Street hosted cafes, schools, clothing stores, movie theatres, an airline, and a multitude of other business endeavors. With great successes within the black community, BWS brought much envy to the surrounding cities.

When Black Wall Street was burned to the ground, it was not just an attack on buildings. It was an attack on progress, dignity, and the audacity of Black prosperity. Today, we face a different kind of fire, one that has smoldered in pulpits and pews, in boardrooms and backrooms, where faith has been twisted and weaponized to protect power while erasing the vulnerable.

A Stolen Legacy is our answer to that destruction. Just as Black Wall Street was a symbol of self-determination, this movement is building a new economy of memory and accountability. Here, the testimonies of those harmed by weaponized faith are no longer footnotes. They are front page. They are currency. They are blueprints for a future that refuses to be rewritten by those who profited from its erasure.

This is our Black Wall Street of truth telling. A place where stories rebuild what systems have torn down. A platform where stolen legacies are restored, where faith is reclaimed from those who corrupted it, and where the people write their own history. Because what they burned to the ground, we now raise again in ink and voice.
