History

The Black Wall Street Times was founded in 2017 by Nehemiah Frank.^[1] The paper is named after the historically Black Greenwood District, Tulsa, which is also known as "Black Wall Street."^[2] According to NPR, the paper focuses on racial equity issues in Tulsa and seeks to hold public officials accountable.^[3]

In 2021, the paper called for Governor Kevin Stitt to resign from the Tulsa Race Massacre Commission for signing HB 1775, a bill which allegedly barred critical race theory.^[4]

In 2023, the Oklahoma State Department of Education banned the paper from interviews with Ryan Walters. The ban was due to Nehemiah Frank calling Walter "trash," a "klansman," and a "Nazi" on the social media platform X.^[5]
