SUMMARY:The Color of Wealth: The Deconstruction of Greenwood and Tulsa’s Legacy of Loss
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Institute on Race and Political Economy and the Justice for Greenwood Foundation. \nThe widening racial wealth gap in the United States is a troubling sign that millions of families are not equipped to offer better opportunities for future generations. Wealth allows families to make investments in homes\, in education\, in their own health\, in businesses\, and in other assets that create financial security for families and prosperity for entire communities. \nThe Institute for Race and Political Economy at The New School and the Justice for Greenwood Foundation\, Inc. invite you to a live event and timely revelation of data on the widening racial wealth gap in Tulsa\, Oklahoma – site of one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism on U.S. soil – the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. \nBefore that day in 1921\, hundreds of thriving Black-owned businesses and organizations lined the streets of Tulsa’s celebrated Greenwood district. Among them were regionally celebrated destinations like the upscale Stratford Hotel\, the state-of-the-art Williams Dreamland Theater\, and the first American Black-owned newspaper with a weekly national circulation\, The Tulsa Star. In a matter of hours\, an angry White mob slaughtered\, maimed\, and terrorized hundreds of Greenwood’s residents and burned nearly 40 square blocks of homes and businesses to the ground. \nWhat is the state of the racial wealth gap today\, 100 years later? How do chronic and ongoing racist policies and politics enrich White Tulsans at the expense of Black wealth\, opportunity\, and well-being? \nThis event will feature findings from the upcoming report: The Color of Wealth in Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, written by Ofronama Biu\, Grieve Chelwa\, Christopher Famighetti\, Kate Richey\, Damario Solomon-Simmons\, and Darrick Hamilton. \nDownload the Color of Wealth: The Destruction of Greenwood and Tulsa’s Legacy of Loss: Advance Executive Summary here.
