Join us by watching on OWN at home with us on Friday, September 29 at 8pm CST to watch the premier episode of Rebuilding Black Wall Street featuring our Greenwood descendant and founder, Montika Collins and our beautiful new Women’s Health Oasis - Given. If you aren’t able to watch live, please record and watch later! About the show: the series will follow Chestnut and build teams, led by designers Jon Pierre and Mary Tjon-Joe-Pin (Two Steps Home), as they take viewers through Greenwood’s rich history and the personal journeys of those featured – many of whom are the descendants of original Black Wall Street residents – over the course of six episodes. As new businesses and projects progress, viewers will experience the physical and emotional challenges that come with large-scale construction and celebrate the promise of Greenwood’s future. On May 31, 1921, Tulsa’s Greenwood District, also referred to as Black Wall Street — a community where Black leaders and entrepreneurs and homeowners thrived, was destroyed by mobs in what has been called the single most horrific incident of racial terrorism since slavery. An estimated 300 people were killed, more than 1,200 homes destroyed, and at least 60 businesses and community buildings burned to the ground. Innovations Family Wellness’ founder and Tulsa Race Massacre descendant Montika Collins participates as she hopes to create North Tulsa’s only natural birthing center and return the tradition of midwifery to the Greenwood District.
