Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a national monument in Tulsa, Oklahoma to honor the historic Greenwood District, also known as Black Wall Street, which was a thriving African American business and cultural center in the early 1900s before being destroyed during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The monument would preserve and interpret this important but often overlooked chapter of American history for visitors and future generations. The designation would bring federal recognition and resources to commemorate the district's significance and the experiences of the Black community that built and lost this prosperous neighborhood.
