Greenwood Ave Project Documentary to Premiere on Juneteenth at Langston University–Tulsa

TULSA, Okla. — On June 19, 2026, community members, historians, educators, and supporters of Black Wall Street will gather for a special viewing of the highly anticipated documentary, Greenwood Ave Project, at Langston University–Tulsa.

Scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., this free event offers attendees an opportunity to experience a powerful collection of stories that preserve the legacy, resilience, and spirit of Greenwood through the voices of the people who know it best.

The documentary's theme, "From the People, For the People," reflects its mission of capturing authentic experiences from community members whose lives, families, and histories are deeply connected to Greenwood and Black Wall Street.

Preserving History Through Community Voices

For generations, Greenwood has stood as a symbol of Black excellence, entrepreneurship, perseverance, and cultural pride. While much has been written about the community's history, the Greenwood Ave Project takes a deeply personal approach by highlighting the stories, memories, and perspectives of those who have lived, worked, worshipped, learned, and built within the historic district.

The film showcases a diverse collection of voices, illustrating the many experiences that make up Greenwood's past, present, and future. Through interviews, reflections, and personal narratives, viewers will gain a deeper understanding of how the community continues to evolve while honoring its rich heritage.

The documentary serves not only as a historical record but also as a celebration of the people whose strength and determination have helped preserve Greenwood's legacy for future generations.

A Meaningful Juneteenth Experience

Holding the screening on Juneteenth adds special significance to the event. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and serves as a time of reflection, education, and celebration of Black history and achievement.

The Greenwood Ave Project aligns perfectly with the spirit of Juneteenth by encouraging dialogue, preserving stories, and inspiring future generations to understand the importance of community, culture, and collective memory.

Building the Future Together

Organizers hope the documentary will encourage meaningful conversations about preserving history, strengthening community connections, and supporting ongoing efforts to ensure Greenwood's story remains alive and relevant.

The event invitation reminds attendees that:

"We all have a story."

That simple but powerful message underscores the documentary's belief that every voice matters and every story contributes to the larger narrative of Greenwood and Black Wall Street.

As Tulsa continues to honor the legacy of Greenwood, events like this provide an opportunity for residents and visitors alike to learn, reflect, and become part of the ongoing journey of remembrance and renewal.
