Black Wall Street, most are probably familiar with the term and how it came to a tragic end. But do you know how it all began? A wealthy black entrepreneur named O.W. Gurley moved to Tulsa, OK, and purchased 40 acres of land. On that land, he sub-leased to other black entrepreneurs, and they hired other blacks, and so on. They ended up with their own town with a thriving economic system.

What made it so successful is that everything they needed was all in one spot. They had hotels, apartments, shops, groceries, bars, theaters, barbershops, churches, hospitals, everything in one location. That kept the money flowing within their community.
