Within
two
blocks,
we
visited
the
cultural
center,
passed
a
historic
church,
saw
half
a
dozen
murals,
toured
the
new
museum,
and
ate
at
an
authentic
soul
food
restaurant.
In
the
Black
Wall
Street
area,
you
have
opportunities
to
support
black-owned
businesses
and
learn
the
important
history
of
Tulsa's
Race
Massacre.
I
especially
recommend
visiting
both
sides
of
the
freeway
and
going
inside
the
Greenwood
Cultural
Center.
The
community
was
divided
by
the
freeway
construction,
including
tearing
down
landmark
buildings,
so
visiting
both
sides
gives
you
a
fuller
experience
of
the
area.
The
Greenwood
Cultural
Center
has
been
there
for
decades
and
we
made
a
point
of
visiting
out
of
respect
for
their
commitment
to
the
community.
It
is
a
functioning
community
center,
so
visitors
need
to
quietly
read
the
information
or
watch
a
documentary
in
the
lobby
so
as
to
not
disturb
the
activities
and
library.
Also
recommended
are
seeing
the
outside
of
Vernon
AME
Church,
eating
at
Wanda
J's
Next
Generation
Restaurant,
and
experiencing
the
new
Greenwood
Rising
Black
Wall
St.
History
Center.
