Support the 1921 survivors and descendants in their fight for justice and reparations—support Project Greenwood

Mayor Nichols - the Office of the City of Tulsa

Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District—once known as “Black Wall Street”—was more than a neighborhood. It represented Black excellence, economic independence, self-determination, and communal resilience. When a mob destroyed Greenwood in 1921, it decimated the foundation of generational wealth for countless Black families, took the lives of loved ones, and permanently altered Black America.

Yet for far too long, the federal, state, and local governments failed to provide any reparations. Even as the 9/11, the Oklahoma City Bombing and other tragedies prompted swift, wide-reaching governmental assistance, the survivors and descendants of the Tulsa Race Massacre have been repeatedly denied support. This inaction has allowed deep wounds to linger—harm still carried by families who deserve every chance to rebuild and reclaim what was lost.

In recent years, Justice For Greenwood has stepped in where governments would not. Through JFG’s Legacy Fund, nearly $500,000 has been invested in Greenwood survivors, descendants, houses of worship, and North Tulsa schools. But much more is needed. Tulsa Race Massacre descendants deserve resources to restore their futures—such as a hospital, housing, and pathways back to the neighborhood they once called home.

On February 4th, Mayor Monroe Nichols historically showed his support for Project Greenwood™—the most comprehensive plan yet to help repair the harm caused by the state-sanctioned destruction of the historic Greenwood District, also known as Black Wall Street. Developed by JFG Founder Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons and championed by the two last living massacre survivors, the plan has been embraced by massacre descendants, public officials, faith leaders, and business owners throughout the nation as an opportunity to create a stronger, more unified Tulsa for all.

Add your voice. Sign your name. Support Project Greenwood and Black History. This Black History Month let us honor the resolve of those who came before us by ensuring the Tulsa Race Massacre is never forgotten and its victims get the reparation they deserve. Remember Justice for Greenwood is Justice for Black America.
