KTUL:
Thousands of motorcyclists are in Tulsa for the Black Wall Street Rally.
The organizers say it’s an effort to show the world the resilience of the Greenwood District nearly 101 years later.
“We’re honoring our past, but we’re also looking at the present of what Greenwood looks like today. For us to be able to put on an event here to bring black entrepreneurs from all over have them selling their wares and showing their services here it speaks to the spirt of Greenwood,” said Carmela Hill with the Black Wall Street Rally.
They are estimating more than 5,000 motorcyclists riding into Tulsa.
There’s no doubt this event is bringing a major economic boost to Greenwood, as well as Tulsa, with thousands of bikers staying in hotels across the city.
