The Greenwood Beat – WFPG: Rebuilding Black Wall Street One Beat at a Time
The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is more than just a radio station — it’s a powerful cultural movement, a voice for the people, and a beacon of restoration and pride for Tulsa’s Historic Greenwood District, widely known as the original Black Wall Street.
Founded by Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Ph.D., The Greenwood Beat – WFPG holds the distinction of being Oklahoma’s first woman-owned and first-ever radio station located on historic Greenwood Avenue. The station was birthed from a vision to restore the power of storytelling, amplify the voices of Black communities, and preserve the rich history and legacy of Black Wall Street while boldly stepping into the future with fresh, unapologetic programming.
A Legacy Rooted in Power
Greenwood Avenue was once a thriving economic hub filled with successful Black-owned businesses, churches, schools, and families. After the devastating 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, the area’s spirit was nearly silenced — but not extinguished. Today, The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is part of the vital work of revitalizing that spirit, honoring the past while creating new pathways of empowerment and expression.
