Celeste Bedford-Walker’s play received raved reviews when it premiered at the Victoria Five Theatre in New York City in 1994. The men of the 24th Infantry (an all Black regiment) had fought bravely on behalf of the United States and received a distinguished record. They served in the Mexican-American dispute against Pancho Villa in Cuba under Teddy Roosevelt and in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War.

Many of the men were 20-year veterans, yet less than four months after returning from service, thirteen soldiers from the 24th were hanged without appeal or review under sentence by the largest court-martial ever convened in the United States. This play is well timed for a return to the stage with the country still in the midst of the Iraq war.

It was a small Black community in Tulsa Oklahoma called Greenwood. This community consisted of Blacks who fled the oppression of the South to carve themselves out a place in the Indian nation of Oklahoma. There they formed a peculiar society of Blacks, Indians, and Jews who respected and did business with each other. Some of these Blacks happened to settle on oil rich land and became incredibly wealthy--so wealthy in fact that the town soon became known as Black Wall Street.

In a mere 36 block section of town, these African-Americans owned and operated 600 thriving businesses. One of the most popular of these businesses was Old Lady Boleys’ eating establishment which is where our play begins. One Sunday evening the town’s more influential citizens gathered to have their pictures taken for the local newspaper in honor of the community’s 20th anniversary. Before the play ends, the entire community of Greenwood is completely burned to the ground in a 12 hour period, and a major Black economic movement is halted.
