You might have heard of Black Wall Street. Meet the founder, O.W. Gurley.

In 1905 Gurley and his wife sold their property in Noble County and moved 80 miles to the oil boom town of Tulsa. Gurley purchased 40 acres of land in North Tulsa and established his first business, a rooming house on a dusty road that would become Greenwood Avenue. He subdivided his plot into residential and commercial lots and eventually opened a grocery store.

As the community grew around him, Gurley prospered. Between 1910 and 1920, the Black population in the area he had purchased grew from 2,000 to nearly 9,000 in a city with a total population of 72,000. The Black community had a large working-class population as well as doctors, lawyers, and other professionals who provided services to them. Soon the Greenwood section was dubbed “Negro Wall Street” by Tuskegee educator Booker T. Washington.

Greenwood, now called Black Wall Street, was nearly self-sufficient with Black-owned businesses, many initially financed by Gurley, ranging from brickyards and theaters to a chartered airplane company. Gurley built the Gurley Hotel at 112 N. Greenwood and rented out spaces to smaller businesses. His other properties included a two-story building at 119 N. Greenwood, which housed the Masonic Lodge and a Black employment agency. He was also one of the founders of Vernon AME Church.

Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington

I thought this was an interesting, culturally important read, but found myself struggling with it. I don't entirely agree with Washington's philosophy, although I do believe that it's brought about great good in the world. I think that ultimately my issue is that he places more faith in the goodness of white people than I do, and that current history shows that his hopes weren't borne out. There's something depressing in reading of his optimism and hope for a brighter future while knowing we've failed to achieve his dream. However, Washington was an impressive and important man in his time and remains highly influential in the modern day. I think Up From Slavery is an important book to read to understand modern American politics.

... as we know from the war on drugs and the war on terror, for those in the business of providing protection, high threat levels are bread and butter. Likewise, for those in the business of healing race relations, racial division is your sworn enemy but your secret friend—so much so that wounding and healing become part of the same operation. -- Dr. Lyell Asher, "Why Colleges Are Becoming Cults"

Hampton's impact on African American history would prove to be profound, principally because of an eighteen year old coal miner who showed up at the door one day in 1872: Booker T. Washington. He had been born into slavery on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia, and of course received no schooling there of any kind. 'From the time that I can remember anything,' he wrote in his autobiography, Up From Slavery, 'almost every hour in my life has been occupied in some form of labor.' He was struck, by contrast, with the general uselessness of the white people he observed on the plantation. All physical work was left to the enslaved Blacks, who had no personal interest in improving the property. 'As a result of this system, he said, 'fences were out of repair, gates were hanging half off the hinges, doors creaked, window-panes were out, plastering had fallen but was not replaced, weeds grew in the yard.' This portrait of disarray tells us something about its author. For Washington, slavery was not just a brutal assault on human life and liberty but also an affront to the dignity of the Black race.

Craft: An American History by Glenn Adamson

#main lesson so far from this book is that white ppl especially men are utterly useless #it's one thing to talk about slavery and say enslaved people were used for labor #it's another to be point out how white people literally didn't know how to labor #pathetic!!!!! evil!!!!! #craft #glenn adamson #booker t. washington #history #quotes

"Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him."
