was a visionary entrepreneur and real estate developer recognized as the founder of Tulsa Oklahoma’s Greenwood District aka “Black Wall Street”.
In 1906, Ottawa W. Gurley purchased 40 acres of land, and sold parcels exclusively to black settlers. This created a self-sufficient economic ecosystem that flourished until 1921, when the Greenwood district was burned down in the “Tulsa Race Massacre”, causing him to lose nearly his entire fortune. SALUTE!!!
This is a handcrafted piece of jewelry made with 10mm Onyx Agate gemstones with Gold-Tone Pave and Black Crystal accents.
