The Tulsa Race Massacre that took place over 31 May – 1 June 1921. It was the worst race massacre in the history of the United States; however, most people have never heard of it. Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1921, in less than 24 hours the prosperous African-American section of Greenwood, also known as “Black Wall Street,” was completely destroyed. An estimated 300 were killed and over 10,000 people displaced, as a 42 square block area of their homes and businesses were burned to the ground by a white mob that had been deputized by the sheriff.
In this presentation, historian and Financial Educator Charmaine Simpson will shining example of what Black people can accomplish when we pursue our economic goals as a collective. Principles of cooperative economics, wealth building, and Black business development will be addressed, along with the TRUTH about what happened to the people who had their wealth stolen and their story buried for over 100 years.
During the Q&A we will discuss Black Economic Empowerment and Black Wall Street in relation to the Black community in the UK. Black Wall Street is a template for Black Economic Development and Empowerment. Can we resurrect the ideas of Black Wall Street and create our own Black Wall Streets in the 21st and 22nd centuries?

To celebrate Black Music Month and the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop, Black History Studies presents the West London Premiere screening of The Killing of the 5th Element: A Hip-Hop Documentary.
Music vs Movement
“The tongue can do one of two things. Speak Life or Death. What do you hear on the radio?”
Rap has created many genres, however, The Golden Age of hip-hop is regarded as the best era in hip-hop. The Killing of the 5th Element, examines the lost element of “consciousness” and knowledge in today’s music; and answers the question, is music just fun entertainment or a movement that can spark change?

In the fall of 1981, Tina Turner sat for an interview with the music editor of People Magazine. Five years earlier, she had divorced Ike Turner, her husband and musical partner for 16 years, and almost no one knew why. The story she would tell was a harrowing account of the abuse and torture she had lived through and the literal escape she made one night after years of trauma. The article would be the first of many profiles that would cement Tina’s image as a heroine. Her personal narrative, along with her undeniable talent, would go on to fuel one of the most improbable comebacks in music history. As her fame grew, so did her identity as a cultural symbol. Tina projected strength and resilience to her millions of fans around the world and yet, concealed behind this public face, was a woman still struggling to be released from the past.
Tina is an intimate and revealing look at Tina Turner’s improbable journey through life and how her story of survival impacted both the public and herself. Incorporating a wealth of never-before-seen footage and what is likely Tina Turner’s last extensive interview, this feature documentary recounts a story you only thought you knew.

“A very informative and engaging day. This tour was set within a very relaxed and friendly manner which made it very accessible. Black History Studies was fantastic and very thorough in their delivery”“The tour was informative and has added a more ‘visual’ tier, with expert narration from Black History Studies which increased my knowledge on ‘our’ story of Africa, Africans and Africans in the diaspora”
“The tour reinforced all that I was taught on the Transatlantic Enslavement course and the constant uprisings that took place that I was never told in standard slavery lessons in school.”
