This is a wonderful, engaging museum with relevant local information that was totally new to my spouse who grew up less than an hour away. We determined years ago that our children wouldn't enter adulthood as ignorant as we did. Since relocating to the region this was our 3rd trip to the Greenwood area and keep coming back! The staff were helpful and the facilities BRAND NEW, clean and well done.

Just wow! Outstanding use of various powerful media types to portray a very intense and sad part of Tulsa’s history. A must stop if you are in Tulsa.

Had a great time in the Greenwood District on a Saturday. This museum was a highlight. Everyone was warm friendly, businesses were relaxed and welcoming. Will be returning soon - I feel this area is already nice but is about to expand quickly and I want to visit again before it gets too big. I recommend for àll adults and parents can choose whether it is appropriate as the museum contains sensitive and difficult historical information. I also appreciated that they acknowledge that the land in Greenwood including the land the museum is on originally belonged to the Muscogee Creek Tribe.

Greenwood rising is a museum, cultural center and a place of remembrance. It focuses primarily on the events leading up to and including the Tulsa massacre. The images, the videos and the curated tour is both informative and disturbing. For that reason, I recommend being careful bringing young kids to this location. It’s a shame because everyone needs to know what happened. So parents go there first before deciding if your children should attend. The tour elaborates on the environment that led to that fateful day. It also goes into very painful but informative detail. It includes first hand accounts of the events in a very human and eye opening way. However embedded within that tour are glimpses of what Greenwood was and what it can be again. I highly recommend both black and white go there at least once

This is not your typical museum. It's hard for me to think of one more masterfully or powerfully crafted, with immersive and interactive experiences that truly brought history alive. It made everything very human, rather than history being just text on paper. It was an emotional experience that helped both inform and connect the past to the present. Everyone needs to come here.

This is a really awesome small museum preserving and education the history of Black Wall Street and the Greenwood community. A great mix of traditional museum elements and interactive, multimedia components. I would definitely recommend it!

This is the history everyone should learn, but they don't teach it in schools. I enjoyed learning about this history. I'm from Georgia and never heard back the Tulsa Massacre until I met my husband, who is from OKC. A lot of history to learn.

I can in person, and was permitted to bring my students virtually. We had a docent to guide us through, and they were able to ask questions. We then walked down the street to see the memorials, cultural center (do visit that as well), church, etc. It was emotionally challenging, but an important visit. So important. Thank you for hosting us! We are so glad you exist, and are educating future generations about our important past!

This was a beautifully profound experience. The tour was a journey, well thought out and sensitive. I am so grateful that we scheduled our tour at 12pm on Sunday on our way from Missouri to Texas. Parking was easy. We were also able to buy a few items at the gift shop before we left. I highly recommend this museum!

This is a simple museum that knows what it wants to be. It gives information clearly, but it’s emotional and powerful. It’s not a massive museum, but it uses space well and tells the story of Greenwood and the Tulsa Race Massacre in a way that is lasting and impactful. Every Oklahoma native should definitely see this. It is free for residents on certain days so there is no reason not to see it!

I always love a piece of black history! I toured this beautiful facility and I adore the content! I had never heard of the Tulsa Massacre of 1921 before stepping foot into this museum and the local artists did an excellent job portraying the events of the Black Wall St destruction and rebuild. If you haven't been, please go and check out this facility and immerse yourself into another black historical event.

Powerful and moving exhibits meant to correct the historical record about the Tulsa Race Massacre. There are many disturbing photos and artifacts related to black Americans, and a fun and lighthearted virtual reality barber shop with realistic AI barbers. I recommend this for anyone from age 11 up. I think younger children might not be ready for the stories and might be disturbed by some of the audio and visuals.

This experience will leave you feeling heartbroken, mad, maybe with rage, and hopeful because this experience was so well done and put together. It is a validating and understanding place. The tour guide was fantastic and was happy to answer any questions you had. At the end, you have an opportunity to dialog with one another about ending anti-blackness. Please go and see it. Take it all in. Consume it. Embrace it. Learn about it. They talk about the event that should have been discussed in schools, but it’s non existent in textbooks.

The museum transports you through the history of this tragic moment, gives thoughtful consideration to the many different lives that intersected in this time and space, and provides the economic, social, and political context that supported these unfathomable events. I was in awe at the creativity, elegance, and intellectual efficiency of the museum. Grateful for the opportunity to fill in the gaps in my public school education.

An absolute must see/do in Tulsa, OK. A history no longer suppressed. A museum and memorial with an honest lens focused both on the past and future. Thoughtfully done and presented. Follow the short walking tour just outside on the app for an additional perspective. I would recommend to all and would come back again.

Immersive and visceral exhibits allow you to see the Tulsa Massacre from the victims' perspectives. The story of the massacre was kept so quiet that this museum's existence is a triumph. They tell the story of slavery, lynchings, other race massacres across the United States, Tulsa's Massacre, the further victimization of the survivors, the dividing and erosion of the Greenwood District, and the recent acknowledgement of the massacre. Having this context in your head will give your visit to Black Wall Street a deeper understanding. I also recommend visiting The Greenwood Cultural Center on the other side of the freeway. We learned even more there than was covered at the Greenwood Rising museum. 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 on the lobby walls or watch a documentary in the lobby so as to not disturb the activities and library. 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. Prepare to be moved and allow extra time for thoroughly absorbing this museum.

This place is amazing, and sad. The tragedy of May 1921 and its aftermath is heart breaking. Greenwood Rising does a stellar job of telling the story in an interactive and compelling way. It's a must see for visitors to Tulsa.

This was such an amazing, eye opening, emotional experience. We were lucky to have Margo Taylor guide us through the museum. She kept us engaged, was so knowledgeable, and allowed us to feel and show our emotions while talking about race. If you come to Tulsa it is only right you learn the history and ugly truth of racism here. It can be heavy so be prepared to feel these emotions, but know you are in a safe space.
