This review is from: Black Wall Street (Hardcover)

Black Wall Street was very imformative book and gave a lot of insight about how successful we were as a people and how unified the community was at that time. Mr. Hannibal Johnson did a wonderful job in potraying the devesatation brought upon the African-American community on May 31, 1921. This particular book should be in every African-American home as a must read to show our youth that in the past were have been a prosperous people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Wall Street: From Riot to Renaissance in Tulsa's Histo, April 1, 2000

This review is from: Black Wall Street (Hardcover)

Imformative as well as historical commentary on sucessful Afro-Americans during a time of extreme overt racial hatred. A positive example of what others have achieved in the past, in spite of the terrible consequenses, to help focus others in the future. An excellent contrast with your usual American history text verbage about the Roaring 20's. A must for Afro-American home libraries as well as American history buffs.

This review is from: Black Wall Street (Hardcover)

Read the story of strength & courage of African-American people, in the midst of extreme racism. Before Wall street in NYC, there was 1st a "BLACK" wall street. The book is awesome to have in your library..a true history of the Black race
