AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF LEGACY & RESILIENCE

Mapping Greenwood

The Mapping Greenwood project works to map and archaeologically uncover stories of Black community resilience and how the footprint of the Historic Greenwood District, also known as Black Wall Street, changed through time in response to cycles of anti-Black violence in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Mapping Greenwood curriculum invites high school students in grades 11–12 to explore the history and legacy of Tulsa’s Greenwood District through the lens of archaeology. From uncovering the past to envisioning the future, these lessons—Intro to Archaeology, Living the Dream, Dream Deferred, and Restoring the Dream—empower students to engage deeply with stories of resilience, remembrance, and restoration.
