"And I always stop there when I talk about this out in the world because, you know, I want to remind white folks that y'all were running from us -- this family with all the values that you've read about. You were running from us. And you're still running, because we're no different than the immigrant families that are moving in ... the families that are coming from other places to try to do better."

The Black Wall Street Directory in Tulsa
Notes
The success there led Booker T. Washington to visit in 1905 during which he encouraged them to continue to build and co-operate among themselves, reinforcing what he called "industrial capacity" and thus securing their ownership and independence.[3] Washington highlighted that he had directed the creation of a 4,000 acre totally black-owned district in Tuskegee under the direction of C. W. Greene and designated Greenwood when it was formally organized in 1901 to create a demonstration of his vision. The Tulsa community was formally organized in 1906 and took the name Greenwood. By 1921 it was home to about 10,000 black residents.[1]
The best description of Black Wallstreet, or Little Africa as it was also known, would be liken it to a mini-Beverly Hills. It was the golden door of the Black community during the early 1900s, and it proved that African Americans had successful infrastructure. That's what Black Wallstreet was all about.
The dollar circulated 36 to 100 times, sometimes taking a year for currency to leave the community. Now in 1995, a dollar leaves the Black community in 15-minutes. As far as resources, there were Ph.D.'s residing in Little Africa, Black attorneys and doctors. One doctor was Dr. Berry who owned the bus system. His average income was $500 a day, a hefty pocket change in 1910.
During that era, physicians owned medical schools. There were also pawn shops everywhere, brothels, jewelry stores, 21 churches, 21 restaurants and two movie theaters. It was a time when the entire state of Oklahoma had only two airports, yet six Blacks owned their own planes. It was a very fascinating community.The area encompassed over 600 businesses and 36 square blocks with a population of 15,000 African Americans. And when the lower-economic Europeans looked over and saw what the Black community created, many of them were jealous. Which led to the bombing and destruction of Black Wall Street.
