The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street by Robin Oliver Walker
4.0
I didn't see it on Goodreads, but the version of this that I read is actually two books/long essays. One is The Rise & Fall of Black Wall Street and the other is called The Seven Key Empowerment Principles. I liked the first books and parts of the first chapter of the second. My interest was in reading an account of the burning of Black Wall Street written by a Black author, as opposed to Walker's purpose which is more about inspiring Black people to achieve financial success. I didn't realize that when I bought the book, so I ended up skimming most of the second half. The advice seems fine, but not particularly unique, and I am skeptical of writing that uses so many CAPS per page. However, if you want a brief intro to the Tulsa Massacre, I would recommend this book.
