Description

One hundred years after the Tulsa Race Massacre, Across the Tracks is a celebration and memorial of Greenwood, OklahomaIn Across the Tracks: Remembering Greenwood, Black Wall Street, and the Tulsa Race Massacre, author Alverne Ball and illustrator Stacey Robinson have crafted a love letter to Greenwood, Oklahoma.

Also known as Black Wall Street, Greenwood was a community whose importance is often overshadowed by the atrocious massacre that took place there in 1921. Across the Tracks introduces the reader to the businesses and townsfolk who flourished in this unprecedented time of prosperity for Black Americans.

We learn about Greenwood and why it is essential to remember the great achievements of the community as well as the tragedy which nearly erased it.

However, Ball is careful to recount the eventual recovery of Greenwood.

With additional supplementary materials including a detailed preface, timeline, and historical essay, Across the Tracks offers a thorough examination of the rise, fall, and rebirth of Black Wall Street.
