    Black Wall Streets were thriving African American business communities in the early 20th century. Some examples include:

    Greenwood District, Tulsa, Oklahoma: A neighborhood with nearly 35 blocks of Black-owned businesses, including the Williams Dreamland Theatre. In 1921, a white mob destroyed much of Greenwood in the Tulsa Race Massacre.

    Bronzeville, Chicago, Illinois: A prosperous African American community.

    Hayti, Durham, North Carolina: A prosperous African American community.
