This is the dining room in the house on the Black Wall Street Memorial Tour that was rebuilt after the massacre. The house was gorgeous! Very spacious and every room was outfitted beautifully. The house showed the way Black Tulsan's lived in that time period. Our tour guide explained how as a maid/housekeeper the lady owner of the home wanted a home just as beautiful as the houses she cleaned so her and her husband worked hard to do so. Their furniture, linens and clothing were imported from France and NY and they sent their children to the best schools, these were WORKING CLASS people by today's standards and they BUILT to give their children what they didn't have as slaves and then some. #RememberBlackWallstreet #nationbuilding #BlackWallStreet #BlackWallStreetMemorial #BlackWallStreetTour #NeverForget #buyblack #GreenwoodDistrict #LittleAfrica #buyblack

We took a tour of one of the homes that was re-built shortly after the massacre. The house showed the way Black Tulsan's lived in that time period. The video had to be cut into 15 seconds but she was explaining how as a maid/housekeeper the lady owner of the home wanted a home just as beautiful as the houses she cleaned so her and her husband worked hard to do so. Their furniture, linens and clothing were imported from France and NY and they sent their children to the best schools, these were WORKING CLASS people by today's standards and they BUILT to give their children what they didn't have as slaves and then some. #RememberBlackWallstreet #BlackWallStreet #BlackWallStreetMemorial #BlackWallStreetTour #NeverForget #buyblack #GreenwoodDistrict #LittleAfrica
