If These Bricks Could Talk… Would You Listen?

New Show Alert

Premieres Sunday, June 1st at 1 PM CST on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG

There’s a place in Tulsa where the ground holds secrets. The bricks still stand, but they’ve seen it all—rising dreams, raging flames, and a resilient rebuilding. If those bricks could talk, they’d tell stories the textbooks skim past, edit and the history books often bury or omit.

Before 1921, Greenwood was a thriving Black economic powerhouse. A bustling community with its own hospitals, schools, banks, hotels, newspapers, and more. It was dubbed “The Black Wall Street of America”, not because it aspired to greatness—but because it was great.

Then came a single night in 1921—one of the darkest acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. In less than 24 hours, the district was reduced to ash. Hundreds of lives were lost. Thousands were left homeless. But even fire couldn’t silence the spirit of Greenwood.

This summer, a new voice will echo through the airwaves to unearth those stories. A new weekly show on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG will explore the resilience of a people and the power of place.

Each week, listeners will step back in time and walk forward with truth. Through first-hand accounts, historical deep dives, and hidden narratives, you’ll discover how the bricks of Greenwood carry more than history—they carry legacy.

Don’t miss the premiere of the show that dares to listen to the past.
