Lebron James will be partnering with CNN Films to produce a documentary on the 1921 Tulsa massacre.
About the Tulsa documentary
Directed by Salima Koroma, “Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street” will depict the tragic story of one of America’s worst race riots.
“CNN Films could not be more proud to partner with The SpringHill Company for this long-overdue recognition of the tragedy of what happened in Greenwood, and to contribute to the reconciliation that comes with the acknowledgment of history,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president for talent and content development for CNN Worldwide, in a company blog post.
“Salima Koroma’s vision will yield a truly thoughtful film.”
“We cannot move forward until we acknowledge our past and this is about honoring a prosperous, booming Black community, one of many, that was brought to an end because of hate,” said Jamal Henderson, SpringHill’s chief content officer, in a blog post.
“With the lack of historic journalism around ‘Black Wall Street’ and the Tulsa Massacre of 1921, we are honored to be partnered with CNN, which has a long-standing record of credible and groundbreaking journalism. We are bringing this documentary together with a diverse crew, including local Tulsans, and making it our mission to uplift voices and people while creating impactful content.”
Tulsa race riots
The 1921 attack on Greenwood was one of the most significant events in Tulsa’s history.
Following World War I, Tulsa was recognized nationally for its affluent African American community known as the Greenwood District. This thriving business district and surrounding residential area was referred to as the “Black Wall Street.”
In June 1921, a race riot nearly destroyed the entire Greenwood area.
