The Greenwood Cultural Center is the primary institution preserving and sharing the history of Tulsa's Black community — including the devastating 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and the remarkable story of Black Wall Street that preceded it. The exhibits are powerful, personal, and essential viewing for anyone seeking to understand Tulsa beyond tourist brochures.
The Center also serves as a living community space — hosting art shows, lectures, performances, and community gatherings that continue the tradition of Greenwood as a center of Black culture and enterprise.
