Greenwood Ave Project – Williams Dreamland Theatre Print
Celebrate the spirit of Black entrepreneurship, culture, and community with this bold depiction of the legendary Williams Dreamland Theatre — one of the crown jewels of the Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street, before the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.
Founded by John Wesley Williams, this iconic theatre was more than a venue — it was a gathering place where families, leaders, and visionaries came together to laugh, learn, and experience art. From vaudeville shows to silent films, Dreamland Theatre reflected the elegance, creativity, and economic strength of African Americans during the early 20th century.
This print captures the pride of Black ownership and the vibrant cultural heartbeat of the Greenwood community. The theatre's art deco façade and commanding signage represent a time when Black excellence flourished despite systemic barriers.
