About this episode
The Greenwood District of Tulsa was a vibrant community in the early 1900s. In fact, it may have been the wealthiest predominantly black neighborhood in all of America. However, in 1921 the area, more commonly referred to as "Black Wall Street" was erased completed after a horrible massacre. We'll dive into the story with Kevin Matthews who not only wrote a book on the topic; he grew up in the same area and attended school on the same street. He'll share not only the horrifying history but also help us look toward the future and how we can all do a better job of working together to all stack more Benjamins. Lisa Marie Presley is BACK in our headlines segment. Her mother Priscilla is disputing her late daughter's trust. We walk through how a trust works, what may be going on, and how you may be able to avoid some estate planning mistakes. Of course, that's not all. We'll also share some Route 66 trivia, since we're talking to Kevin about Tulsa, and throw out the Haven Life line to a lucky listener.
