Summary
In Class With Carr 325 comes live from Justice for Greenwood’s weekend of rituals marking the 120th anniversary of Tulsa Oklahoma’s Greenwood District, where the memory and residue of “Black Wall Street” illuminates irreconcilable questions of violence, self-determination, and state power. We discuss nation-state’s monopolies on violence, restrictions on movement, and how Africans and indigenous communities continue to resist in pursuit of freedom. In many ways, stories of Tulsa and Greenwood present as a microcosm of the US, where settler colonialism, Indigenous sovereignty, and African world-making converge, clash and intersect. Through reflections on repair, governance, memory, and community, we observe that Greenwood’s story is our story. As the US continues its barreling toward a contested 250th anniversary, this lesson feeds and shapes this week’s Momentum of Memory: We are all Greenwood.
