Across the Tracks: Remembering Greenwood, Black Wall Street, and the Tulsa Race Massacre

Greenwood, Oklahoma nowadays is best known for the tragic massacre that occurred there; however, it was also home to a vital and inspiring community before tragedy very nearly erased it. In this book, author Alverne Ball pairs with illustrator Stacey Robinson to introduce us to the businesses and townsfolk in this town, creating an unprecedented time of prosperity for black Americans. With a detailed preface, timeline, and historical essay, this book offers a thorough examination of the history of Greenwood and how it was eventually able to recover from its tragedy.
