Experiencing Interruptions?

GreenWood

This short film, produced by Therese Cooper of Jairus Burks Productions, features spoken word poet Dacember Traylor passionately explaining the significance behind one of the most prominent concentrations of African American businesses in the United States and how it was forcefully erased in one of the most devastating massacres in the history of U.S. race relations. Dancer Camille Hagen provides a visual representation of the hurt and the pain African Americans feel today as “Black Wall Street” still has not been reclaimed.
