It was deeper than I originally thought, the history of it all, and the injustices done, that are still happening!
Here in the Greenwood District, you'll find the true heartbeat of Tulsa—a place once known as Black Wall Street, where African American dreams soared, only to be shattered and rebuilt with unyielding courage after the nineteen twenty-one Massacre. Our tour will take you from John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park, along the streets of the historic Greenwood District, and end at the Greenwood Cultural Center, a living testament to the perseverance and achievements of Black Tulsans. Go at your own pace, anytime. The tour never expires.

It's very informative and detailed. The walk is easy as long as you don't have mobility issues, in which case 1 1/2 hours could be a bit long. The instructions about how to begin the tour are confusing because you're not told to download the app in order to proceed. Otherwise, the tour is a great experience.

The tour was informative and also very thought provoking. The Reconciliation Park area was well done and so beautifully taken care of. We liked the wall of quotes and read every one as we walked along the path way. When we were done, we definitely had a new appreciation for this part of history and hope that many more people continue to come and learn about a part of history that was hidden for so many years.
