Responding to the history of the Tulsa Race Massacre, which occurred 100 years ago, this lecture will address the destruction of the three Black Wall Street communities — Richmond, Virginia, Durham, North Carolina, and Tulsa, Oklahoma — and look at the processes of displacement and gentrification, the disappearance of thriving black cities such as Washington, D.C., and other formerly-thriving Black neighborhoods, and systemic policies that continue to be part of the fabric of the entire country. Presented by Paul Rucker, curator for creative collaboration for VCUarts.
