When the smoke cleared, mere shells of buildings were all that remained of the business district. The strained relationship between the white and black communities, the heightened jealousy of the success of the Black Wall Street area and the elevator encounter led to the Tulsa Race Riot.Īrmed white men looted, burned and destroyed the black community. The incident was further escalated by a local newspaper headline that encouraged the public to "Nab Negro for Attacking Girl in Elevator." Many Tulsans came to believe through media reports that Rowland attacked Page although no sufficient evidence surfaced to substantiate the claim. When Rowland reached out to keep her from falling, she screamed. There are several versions of what supposedly transpired, but the most common being that Dick Rowland accidentally stepped on Page's foot in the elevator, throwing her off balance. The tension mounted between the black and white communities over an incident that allegedly occurred in an elevator at Drexel building in downtown Tulsa involving Sarah Page, a 17-year-old white elevator operator, and Dick Rowland, a 19-year-old black man. Dubbed the "Black Wall Street," Greenwood was an economic powerhouse.Īfter May 31, 1921, Greenwood would never be the same. It boasted of several restaurants, theaters, clothing shops and hotels. Before May 31, 1921, Tulsa's black business district known as Greenwood flourished in spite of segregation. Tulsa's Greenwood district is the site of one of the most devastating race disturbances in the history of the United States.
