He was the man who built Black Wall Street.

O.W. Gurley, born in 1868 to formerly enslaved parents, transformed 40 acres of Tulsa, Oklahoma into Greenwood — a thriving hub of Black wealth and pride.

Gurley made one bold rule: his land could only be sold to Black people.
He built hotels, grocery stores, schools, and even loaned money to Black entrepreneurs when banks refused.

By 1921, Greenwood had hundreds of Black-owned businesses, the richest Black community in America — until white mobs destroyed it in the Tulsa Race Massacre.

Gurley lost everything but not his vision. He rebuilt in Los Angeles and left a legacy of self-reliance, unity, and Black ownership that still inspires today.
