Tag Black Wall Street

Fridays at 9 PM CST just got even realer on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, Oklahoma’s first woman-owned and first-ever radio station on the historic Greenwood Avenue in Tulsa—aka the original Black Wall Street.

Treston Irby, member of the legendary 90s R&B group Hi-Five, is back with a new two-part series on his bold podcast Talkin Wit Trus. This time, he’s digging deep into a topic that hits close to home for many men: relationships and the influence of “Jazebel spirits.” The series promises to be as real, raw, and unfiltered as ever. 

Expect strong language, uncut commentary, and deep revelations. This isn’t a sugarcoated conversation—it’s truth in its rawest form, designed to spark self-reflection and healing. Treston continues to create a space where men—especially those from urban communities—can hear their experiences reflected, unpack emotional wounds, and explore mental health openly without judgment.

The phrase “Jazebel spirit” often evokes controversy, emotion, and complexity—and that’s exactly why Talkin Wit Trus is taking it head-on. From emotional manipulation to toxic relationship cycles, no stone will be left unturned as Treston exposes and unpacks what many men are feeling but don’t always know how to say.

The Greenwood Beat – WFPG is honored to host Talkin Wit Trus every Friday night at 9 PM CST. We’re proud to stand beside Treston Irby and his team as they bring bold, necessary conversations to our airwaves and our community.

Why Black Media Is More Important Now Than Ever

By Dr. Angela K. Chambers | The Greenwood Beat – WFPG

In a world dominated by mainstream narratives, the presence and power of Black media remain not only relevant—but vital. For generations, Black media has been the heartbeat of our communities, echoing our voices when no one else would, capturing our truth when others ignored it, and holding space for our stories, brilliance, and legacy.

At The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, located on historic Greenwood Avenue—also known as the original Black Wall Street—we don’t take that responsibility lightly. We carry the torch of those who came before us: publishers, broadcasters, journalists, and radio hosts who dared to challenge the silence with sound, the invisibility with visibility, and the exclusion with undeniable inclusion.

Representation Matters

Black media tells the stories that mainstream outlets often overlook—or intentionally suppress. Whether it’s celebrating our entrepreneurs, calling attention to social injustice, or uplifting cultural moments, we ensure that our people see themselves reflected with accuracy, dignity, and power.

Representation isn’t just about who’s on the screen or mic. It’s about shaping how we are perceived by the world—and how we perceive ourselves.

Preserving and Protecting Our Narrative

From the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre to modern-day movements, Black stories have often been distorted or erased. Black media is our safeguard. It’s how we document history in real-time, ensuring our legacy won’t be buried again.

We don’t wait for permission to speak. We speak. Loudly. Proudly. Authentically.

Empowering Our Communities

Black media serves as an economic engine, offering opportunities for ownership, employment, and entrepreneurship. It provides platforms for Black-owned businesses, authors, artists, and changemakers to be seen, heard, and supported.

At The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, we offer not only radio programming—but a space for syndication, advertising, digital storytelling, and cultural restoration.

Creating a Safe Space for Dialogue

Black media fosters spaces where we can talk about the real issues affecting us—mental health, justice reform, education, legacy-building, financial literacy, and more—without code-switching, without censorship, and without fear of being misunderstood.

We invite healing conversations, radical love, and bold ideas because we know that healing and growth begin in community.

A Legacy We’re Still Building

From Frederick Douglass’s The North Star to Ebony magazine, to local and digital platforms like The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, Black media has always been about freedom. Freedom to be seen. Freedom to speak. Freedom to imagine and reimagine our future.

As we amplify voices, protect culture, and inspire the next generation, one truth remains clear:

Black media isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Tune in for the Trumpet on Greenwood, an engaging radio show hosted by Minister Alvin Muhammad that airs every Sunday at 1:30 PM on The Greenwood Beat – WFPG.

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.
If These Bricks Could Talk
Sunday, June 1st at 1:00 PM CST
Exclusively on www.thegreenwoodbeat.com

Because Greenwood was never just a place. It was a blueprint. A heartbeat.
And the beat goes on.
