Peace Before the Fire” – A Man Sitting Calmly in Black Wall Street, Greenwood Ave (Pre-1921)
Step back in time with “Peace Before the Fire”, a powerful historical pictorial capturing a rare, quiet moment of reflection in Greenwood Avenue—America’s original Black Wall Street—before the tragic Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.
This deeply evocative image shows a Black man seated calmly, surrounded by the thriving heart of a prosperous African-American district. His posture and gaze reflect dignity, peace, and an everyday normalcy tragically lost to violence and hatred. The photo is more than an image—it's a portal into a forgotten chapter of resilience, wealth, and community strength.
