Why people recommend it
Tulsa's Historic Greenwood District by Hannibal B. Johnson is a historical work documenting the rich heritage, economic vibrancy, and tragic destruction of the prosperous Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On This Week in Startups, Molly Wood mentioned the book during an episode titled When to take a meeting (VC School) + Fungi Flour: Hyfé Foods Founder Michelle Ru, which aired on June 19, 2022. Molly Wood shared a book recommendation from Nick, who had read about Black Wall Street from riot to renaissance in Tulsa's historic Greenwood district. The discussion tied into Juneteenth reading selections and the broader public interest in the history of the Greenwood community, which gained renewed widespread attention following cultural touchstones like the television series Watchmen. The book provides a detailed account of how residents built a thriving commercial and cultural hub, the devastating 1921 race massacre, and the ongoing efforts toward community remembrance and economic revitalization. By passing along Nick's recommendation, Molly Wood highlighted the importance of engaging with this painful yet resilient chapter of American history. The reference serves as an acknowledgment of historical literature that preserves the memory of Greenwood and educates readers on the systemic challenges and triumphs of Black entrepreneurship in the United States.
