At HBCU Prep School, we believe history should be exciting, interactive, and memorable for children. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our latest product: the Black Wall Street Puzzle! Inspired by our best-selling book The ABCs of Black Wall Street, this puzzle is a vibrant, hands-on way for kids to learn about Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District—one of the most successful Black communities in American history.
A Journey Through the Heart of Black Wall Street
The Greenwood District wasn’t just a neighborhood; it was a thriving hub of Black entrepreneurship, culture, and resilience. Our Black Wall Street Puzzle brings this rich history to life, featuring beautifully illustrated images of real landmarks that helped shape this remarkable community.
Kids will stroll through Black Wall Street by piecing together:
🍭 Williams Candy Store – A sweet spot filled with mouthwatering treats like ice cream, chocolate, and sodas. Imagine spending just a few cents and walking out with a bag full of goodies!
🎬 Williams Dreamland Movie Theater – A place where kids lined up with 15 cents in hand for a front-row seat to see the newest films.
🎵 Osborne Monroe’s Skating Rink – Families rolled, bounced, laced up their skates, then grooved to live music at the skating rink. 🛼.
🍞 King Bee Bakery – Follow the smell of fresh bread and pastries! From warm loaves to tasty cookies, this bakery was known for serving up smiles with every bite.
💈 Madame C.J. Walker’s Beauty Salon – Where hair was styled, dreams were shared, and confidence soared. Kids will love learning about how this salon became a symbol of beauty and empowerment.
🙏🏾 Vernon AME Church – More than just a church, it was a place where families gathered, prayed, and built a stronger community together.
Each piece of the puzzle tells a story of big dreams, determination, and community spirit, making history come alive with every connection.
