Wall City is located in central New Jersey. As of the September 2000 census, the population was 26,265 people, making it the third largest town in the state. Its history reflects many social, economic, and political upheavals, and there are many reasons why. The town's history is also marked by the Tulsa Race Massacre, which devastated its Greenwood District, a once vibrant town for formerly enslaved peoples in the South.
The Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma was decimated in the 1921 Tulsa race riots. Although there is little academic work quantifying the economic impact of the 1921 riots on the city's Black population, the statistics presented here are not entirely inaccurate. Further research is necessary to quantify the economic losses that occurred to Black residents of Tulsa. A more complete account of the economic impact of the Tulsa Race Riots is urgently needed.
