(BPRW) Black Wall Street Greenwood History Month 2025. Black Wall Street. The organization has designated May as the global “Black Wall Street History Month,” promoting a campaign centered on remembrance, justice, and economic empowerment. (Black PR Wire) TULSA — In a daring effort to reshape the story, celebrate history, and spark a fresh global economic revival, BlackWallStreet. org is excited to declare May as “Black Wall Street History Month” internationally. This landmark decision represents an important milestone in honoring and promoting Black economic history, starting with the legendary Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, famously referred to as “Black Wall Street.” The month-long global observance goes beyond merely commemorating the losses from the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre; it aims to celebrate the achievements of a vibrant, self-reliant Black community that served as a symbol of hope. “This isn’t solely a historical account. “It pertains to legacy, fairness, and what lies ahead,” remarked Ben Johnson, Global Administrator of BlackWallStreet.org. “We are spreading the narrative of Black Wall Street globally, not only to reminisce about what was lost but also to celebrate what was built and to expand that vision worldwide.” The initiative to officially recognize May as Black Wall Street History Month arises from years of ignored pain, unacknowledged economic successes, and intentional gaps in historical records.
