Establishing Black Wall Street National Monument to Preserve Tulsa History.
This Act establishes the Historic Greenwood District—Black Wall Street National Monument in Oklahoma as a unit of the National Park System. The goal is to protect and interpret the history of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 and the legacy of Black Wall Street for future generations.
