Events of the late 1800s and early 1900s helped set the stage for Black Wall Street. The oil boom in Tulsa in the early 1900s led to a significant increase in population, wealth and opportunity. As Tulsa began to attract more industry and commerce, Black Americans saw it as a setting for significant opportunity.
