bewildered,
By
This review is from: Black Wallstreet (Paperback)
As an African American, I was craving for documented data on this critical event. How disappointed I was after reading this book. I personally think its an insult to the heroic efforts of those mighty souls who accomplished so much while enduring hatred and bigotry of a magnitude few of us today can imagine.
I had to keep reminding myself I was supposedly reading factual accounts because it read more like a cheap novel. I'm going to purchase Hannibal B. Johnson's version in hopes of getting some indepth insight into the important events that unfolded in the town of Greenwood Oklahoma in 1921.

A good book if you hate grammar,
By Kirah Avlajirg "2004Terp" (Gaithersburg, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Wallstreet (Paperback)
This book had so much promise and so much potential. I originally heard about the book in an email and was so excited that I purchased it that same day! A book about such a serious topic should have been written, edited, and published in a very serious manner; it was not. While there are instances in the book where the characters' speech is written in a way so that you can understand the southern accent, there are numerous (about 3 per page) other instances where you can tell the book wasn't even spell-checked, much less checked for grammatical errors - I mean simple errors that the spell check in Word should have caught! Anyway, overall, this was a great story, but a bad read!

Was Expecting More,
This review is from: Black Wallstreet (Paperback)
When I came across information about this event,which I had no previous knowledge of, I was eager to read about it. I order this book thinking it would give me a lot of insight into the Tulsa Race Riot, and Black Wall Street. The book is not as factual nor as informative as I was hoping for and like previously stated by another review, reads like a cheap novel.
