John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park

Tulsa, Oklahoma

Memorializes the Tulsa Race Massacre.

Reconciliation Park was created to memorialize Tulsa Race Massacre, a white supremacist terrorist brutal attack that took place between May 31 and June q, 1921.  Mobs of white residents, some of whom had been appointed as deputies and armed by city government officials, assaulted Black residents and destroyed homes and businesses of the Greenwood District, colloquially known as “Black Wall Street.”  They destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the neighborhood—at the time, one of the wealthiest Black communities in the United States.
