Primarily due to another event in the same area, "Heal The Hood" which unfortunately our planning committee just recently learned about. The in-person Milwaukee Black Wall Street Days event has been canceled until further notice. Due to our limited staff and other upcoming events in the country, our next event in Milwaukee is MLK NOW 2025, stay posted. Instead, we welcome all the guests to join us for our first-ever Virtualthon, May 27th, on Memorial Day - Remembering and Rebuilding Black Wall Streets. This online virtual show will focus on the history of Black Wall Street Days across the United States, not just in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which occurred on May 31, 1921, which is why the month of May is associated with Black Wall Street, the legendary massacre of Blacks in the Greenwood District, and the destruction of many vibrant Black communities across America.
