America's Cities Book Discussion (In Person) - Built from the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, America’s Black Wall Street

This afternoon at 3:00 p.m., the library will be discussing the book "Built from the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, America’s Black Wall Street", by Victor Luckerson. 

A multigenerational saga of a family and a community in Tulsa’s Greenwood district, known as “Black Wall Street,” that in one century survived the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, urban renewal, and gentrification

“Ambitious . . . absorbing . . . By the end of Luckerson’s outstanding book, the idea of building something new from the ashes of what has been destroyed becomes comprehensible, even hopeful.”—Marcia Chatelain, The New York Times
