Live with Carnegie Hall: Remembering Greenwood

Thursday, June 3, 2021 7:30 PM Online
The Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma—nicknamed “Black Wall Street”—was the site of a race-based massacre in 1921. Rarely acknowledged in the decades that followed, it resulted in as many as 300 deaths and more than 10,000 left homeless. Marking the 100th anniversary of the Greenwood Massacre, Derrick “D-Nice” Jones presents a civic–special edition of his popular Club Quarantine to showcase arts and music as a powerful driver of building and rebuilding communities. Joining him is Valeisha Butterfield Jones, the Recording Academy’s first-ever Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer. The episode also features actor Hill Harper as well as Tulsa-based artists who are part of Fire in Little Africa, a compilation hip-hop album and documentary that is helping to usher in a new era.
