In 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre devastated the affluent black community of Greenwood, also known as Black Wall Street, in Tulsa. White supremacists killed over 300 African Americans, looting and burning homes and businesses to the ground. Ottawa W. Gurley, born to freed slaves, established Black Wall Street, fostering a self-sufficient community with Black-owned businesses. During the massacre, white mobs held firemen at gunpoint to ensure the destruction of the Greenwood District. The events were documented in photographs, which were turned into souvenir postcards.
