Attorney/author to discuss Tulsa Black Wall Street Massacre

Wayne State University Law School will present the online lecture “1921-2021: The Centennial Discussion on the Tulsa Black Wall Street Massacre” on Wednesday, June 16, from 7 to 9 p.m.

This online program will mark the centenary of the Tulsa Black Wall Street Massacre with attorney Hannibal B. Johnson, author of 10 books including “Black Wall Street 100: An American City Grapples With Its Historical Racial Trauma” (2020).

 A graduate of Harvard Law School, Johnson is an attorney and independent consultant specializing in diversity & inclusion/cultural competence issues and nonprofit governance, and has served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Oklahoma. 

Johnson will be interviewed in the first hour by Ollie Johnson, chair and professor of Wayne State University’s Department of African American Studies, and then joined in the second hour on a panel moderated by Peter Hammer, professor of law and director of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, that will relate the experiences of Tulsa to those of Detroit.
