The anniversary coverage I have seen of the Tulsa massacre 100 years ago usually refers to the Greenwood neighborhood that was targeted as the "Black Wall Street." The stories I've seen generally describe Greenwood as a prosperous neighborhood, but the nickname seems to imply that it was more than that - that it was some sort of national center of Black wealth and (perhaps) finance, and that the tragedy isn't just about all the deaths and violence, but also about the destruction of economic independence. Is that a correct implication? Especially since a lot of the writing on the topic draws connections to the question of reparations: to what extent were the economic effects of the massacre felt by Black people across the US?
