Rare 1920s Footage: All-Black Towns Living the American Dream | National Geographic

- By the 1920s, Oklahoma was home to some 50 African-American towns, in addition to a large and prosperous black community living in the city of Tulsa. These towns and their self-reliant middle class and affluent residents are documented by the home movies of Reverend S. S. Jones, an itinerant minister and businessman. Known and respected by the citizens of the towns whose lives he captured on film, Rev. Jones’s work offers revealing glimpses of these communities as a haven for African Americans who very often faced discrimination elsewhere in America. The subjects are everyday life: a family on the front porch of their bungalow, shop workers at a storefront, farmers plowing their fields, children playing on seesaws in a schoolyard. Much of the material documents the economic life of the towns, from business districts filled with prosperous merchants to the homes of successful professionals, with an abundant countryside beyond. As Rhea Combs, curator of film and photography for the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, points out in her commentary, here we even find a married couple who were oil barons, proof of the extraordinary progress made in the relatively short time since the end of slavery. The fashions and hairstyles, automobiles and horses, and even such details as a man manually pumping gasoline at a filling station make the films a fascinating record of the lives of Americans, and African Americans in particular, in the early 20th century.

my family owned acres in texas.... the KKK ran them off it. AFTER they had got it producing immense crop of course. My aunts who STILL have the original deed tried to go to court to get it back and the judge basically told them (in the chambers) that they would most likely get killed if they continued to pursue it and for their own safety he advised them to just let it go. They tell us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and when we do they take it all... smh but they never teach you THIS history in school
TaraChristine, No and THEY never will teach our children. Why would or sould THEY? WE will have to TEACH. WE have always been OUR best lawyers, doctors, architects, engineers, teachers, electricians, plummers, craftman, police and firemen and the list goes on and on and on and on......Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes said it best and sung about the only solution, "Wake🎶Up🎶Everybody🎶".
Sorry to hear about that
Hopefully y'all get that land back
That's alright the most highs judgment will right all the wrong that these edimites have done to our ancestors believe me it's coming
*They are of their father the Devil*
They didn't like that we were doing just fine without them.
You are sooo right. We should make a New Black Wall Street.
DeWitt Heard that’s exactly what we need to do. Unify, and pool our resources together to create our own. This most likely won’t happen, but that’s exactly the remedy.
Well said sister! You should go back to Africa!
@Soul Sista#1:
This WHOLE continent was doing good before the [original] Europeans landed in the Americas in 1492. None of us came from Africa! In fact, that wasn't that continent's name back then. We are the true "Indians" that was found here.
They learned and TOOK from US! Some still do by coming and monitoring our comments, videos, blogs etc. Still discovering thru the most creative minds AA.
They bombed those communities in Tulsa they forgot to teach us that in school
Spoony G terrible metaphor
Spoony G you have no clue what you’re talking about. Please don’t speak on issues that you’re unaware of.
They tell you it was the past, and to get over it for the fact that they do not want you to remember what blacks can accomplish, and keep you ignorant. Why blacks had a hatred towards whites and why so many of them feel the way they do now.
Spoony G you are a troll and idiot so both of these attributes fit you well.
Marjorie Tillman, these people were Black Indians, the national guard was brought in to bomb them along with thousands of kkk
It’s footage like this that needs to be released in it’s entirety.
This is what we need not these political movements
@JustJ WhoIsAsking a non-allegiance movement
yeh including the part where the towns where burned to the ground once the whites gathered together when they accused a black boy of doing something to a girl within the town...hmm yesss i heard about it
@@Anon1370 Exactly and America is still by far the best country on earth which is why African Americans refuse to leave US while actaully Africans desperately dream in moving to US including yourself 🇺🇸 🫵🍔

ArtZ nerd seriously...
@live life the Republican and democratic party use to be one party they on the same team when it comes to black people
@live life You know that the Democratic Party and Republican Party switched, right? Why do you think that all of the descendants of the racist Democrats in the South vote Republican today and the descendants of the pro-abolition Republicans in the North vote Democratic today? Are you to tell me that it's just a coincidence that all of the most racist states historically once voted Democrat but now vote Republican? And these are the states that still have the most racism even today?
What I read was that the Depression killed off these towns -- it wasn't politics. A lot of people moved out looking for opportunities elsewhere and never returned.
live life Explain why the South used to vote for the racist Democrats and now the South only votes for Republicans. And also explain why the North which used to vote for the non-racist Republicans now votes for the Democrats?
This should be taught in our schools.
George Gilles sounds like you're spreading enough hate already keep yourself stupid
Don't expect to be taught truth from the enemy
Teach it yourself.
More like so people can learn real history not the myth of Chris Columbus 😂 finding America
THE PROBLEM IS OUR SCHOOLS TEACHES US , WHAT TO THINK. NOT HOW TO THINK.
It's just goes to show you that even under the harshest circumstances black people thrived and prospered.

@@sheldoncooper0- It may be, but we'll stay in the country that we helped to build.
@@tbwms3243 Hahahaha, yes definitely blacks have contributed a lot to the great United States of America. You guys invented electricity, the light bulb, the motor cars, the internet, the television, space flight, Apple, Google, TH-cam... Oh wait...
@@sheldoncooper0- Yes, we do have a number of inventions under our belt, but I was speaking about the multi-million dollar economy we built in the south (primarily during slavery) with no pay.
300+ black owned business destroyed in a matter of days. The black dollar was circulating 12 times over within the black community in those days. The black deli owner would buy from the black farmer who would in turn buy from the black hardware store owner. There was a solid support system in place.The dollars stayed in the community. There were no chinese restaurants or middle eastern owned bodegas for our money to escape to or through. No Korean nail salons or chinese hair care stores. I’ve always felt that desegregation was a ploy to gain access to the black dollar and more and more it’s starting to look like MLK was their paid puppet (either knowingly or unknowingly). Black businesses in places like Tulsa were doing international trades with Canada in those days that’s no small feat.
I Agree. Mlk was a puppet.
Well said
Never forget though that they didn’t kill MLK until he started talking about black economic equality...
MLK was not the puppet you think he was.. look at his message after Vietnam starts... Look at his poor people campaign...
My friend it's called Group Economics which they don't teach in the public schools anymore. I remember my grandparents telling me about the Black Wall Street. When blacks had capital.
Soooo ... black men marrying black women, forming strong black families and loving, supporting and protecting them. How odd that these traits led to financial and cultural strength. Duhhh.
But when we build a strong self-sufficient community to shield us from this nation's racism and hatred, they destroy it.
Yes duuuuuuh🤔
UNTIL....
D. F Johnson imagine
Don’t get me started on this...
@@romieeley8106 Until nothing. Do it again today. Nothing is stopping you but yourselves.
I can’t believe I’m just now finding this video! I’m from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and it bothers me when people question if there are black people in Oklahoma. Of course! We are still here even after all the turmoil that has happened. I grew up in the area where Black wallstreet once stood (north tulsa) and after the massacre, many blacks stayed. It’s a poor area and never recovered, but just like the black community has always done, we continue to survive without much resources. I wish the history of black people in Oklahoma was more well known. Myself and many of the kids I grew up with survived the poverty and violence and made it to college (I currently go to Oklahoma state) and I’m proud to be from Tulsa and I hope to make my ancestors and my community proud by being successful!
I can relate. I'm originally from WV & I NEVER, not even in WV history classes, heard of Katherine Johnson. I'm like 🤔 So the Black Woman who helped us get to space & a native of the state couldn't be mentioned even to kids in WV? 😐😒 & people forget we live there too.
You document that area, i would love all information i can recieve about my race,
I know huh like really okla,Tulsa was the alt back in the day All the rich blacks was there but they won't tell you about that. My friend parents was in that stuff she was one of the last people to tell her story he have a vhs tape on it, It's pretty good. I'm from a small-town black town called Langston so it's funny when i go out of state they ask if black people here like we have or had the most black town's in the U.S. lol
@@countryboy6855 I would love to see this video. Please reply if you ever put it on TH-cam.
I'm proud of you. Do everything they say you can't. I know you are making our ancestors proud.
Once they found out we can do without them they got scared.
ohsevenone don’t think these people were playing the victim in the video you dummy
ohsevenone racist and biased POS
@ohsevenone suppression brought blacks to that point.
True
@Your Name Here you open to know why or do you have ur answer to the question already
In spite of all the oppression look at how well put together our people were back then, look at how well dressed and business oriented they all were. Just trying to live a good clean life. It's so beautiful and encouraging to see how we cared for one another back then.
This town is remarkable... until the Tulsa Race Riot happened and burned all this progress to the ground. And just like that, they were back to being poor & homeless...
Wow. Legit racist.
I wish the op's comment was a subjective view point. It really happened though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_riot
AI Webb there were a few million people living here before Europe "found" it! Now if I came up to you and took you things saying I "found" it should that make it legally mine? So your ancestors stole someone else's land, killed almost all of them off for protesting, then made "laws" to protect and keep it from generation to generation, and no one should mention that?!
@Juan Richardson why you here😂😂😂😂

It's fake history. Schools dont teach pseudo history.
The level of ignorance racist people display is so astonishing that actually records and documentaries still are omitted truths. That right there is a serious mental illness/disease...
So black people made more money an did better when they were segregated? That's what I take from this 🤷
Yup thats why the Most high told us to always be seperate from everybody.

We were doing this BEFORE slavery fam
WoW...you can see the 'black pride' and self confidence in their faces (especially the men). Kids are happy, playing together.everyone looking out for the each other....this was PARADISE!! Then the demons came and burned their homes while 'murdering' most of the men out of plain JEALOUSY!!
That's not "black pride". People didn't think like that back then. What you're seeing is humans living in unquestioned comfort and freedom as all people should be able to.
@@sunnyedaize1262 What you are seeing sir, is black pride.
The KKK and other DEMOCRATS have the same high opinion of themselves, regarding other whites, as well as blacks. Many people just don't know that it's a class thing...the global "elite" certainly had plenty to do with slavery and mal treatment of more than one race or class of people. It's called greed, jealousy and hate.
Speak on it!
@@sunnyedaize1262 you are 1000% right and correct this is how it was and still should be this is natural people living , getting alone with one another ,looking out for each other and the children as a whole community this is who you were back then as a people, now look ??

That statement says it all my friend.
I agree- but why are they jealous?; Once we know our true story, then it all makes sense. and a psychological shift brews- we are under a spell, as we know- psychological chains
Being racist is just a sad excuse for those who are not happy with their lives
Smh
No - its about tangible things like who gets a job, who gets power and wealth, whose children get to achieve their dreams and who gets to live in a healthy beautiful community. Feelings are way down on the list.
Racism is mostly based on being afraid of the unknown.
I don't really know how you picture rascists but they're not a bunch of retards, they're mostly normal people, no mental illness needed to fear change

There are many other than this one city
Been watching us close ever since. 😂😂
Every since they were shown how to get here in 1492.
See how decent,United, hardworking and well organized they were back then. Being direct descendants of slaves no one worked harder than them. The biggest motivation here was now they were working for themselves and not for slave masters so they worked even harder. You can see that they lived in families too. They were responsible men and women. The hardworking farmer with his wife quenching his thirst for him. The break up of the family is the beginning of the end. Jesus said in Matthew 12:25 that " every house divided against itself will not stand".It brings tears to my eyes when I contrast it with what's going on today. These folks will be turning in their graves if they saw how their descendants have turned out. Where did it go wrong? So sad to see even as an African living here. How I wished this video was longer. How I wished it was shown around the projects for the people openly boasting about doing time in the "PEN" to see how progressive their forefathers were. Cry the beloved race !
