Black to the Future: Lessons from Black Wall Street for Community and Economic Prosperity
Discover the blueprint for building lasting wealth, leadership, and community resilience-rooted in one of America's most powerful yet overlooked success stories.
Whether you know the name Black Wall Street or are hearing it for the first time, this book will change how you see Black entrepreneurship, migration, and community building forever.
In Black to the Future, Dr. LaRachelle Samuel-Smith and Dr. William H. Turner take you deep into the thriving Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma-a place where Black business pioneers and neighbors created one of the most self-sufficient, prosperous communities in U.S. history.
The Untold Story That Still Shapes Our Future
"Go West!" may not be the phrase you associate with the post-Civil War Black migration. Yet, that's exactly what many did-building towns, schools, and thriving business districts like Greenwood.
By the early 20th century, Greenwood-better known as Black Wall Street-was home to flourishing businesses, banks, schools, and healthcare facilities. These achievements came from people only decades removed from the era of slavery, proving the power of ownership, collaboration, and vision.
