Black Wall Street Burning

I am so proud to be from Oklahoma and the film telling a story that otherwise is ignored. Congratulations to all of the actors the writer and producer. Please go and see the film take your children!!!!!!

This film found a way to show so many people Tulsa's forgotten history. It shed light to a part of history that was meant to be erased, and now because of this film, we will never forget. It may not have had the glitz and glam of Hollywood, but it had hard work, passion, and commitment, which was evident in every scene.

I really wanted to like this movie after reading the other reviews. The acting is horrible. It was actually embarrassing to watch. People need to know this piece of history, but perhaps just read about it or watch a documentary. Don't waste time or money on this.

I saw this film tonight in Oklahoma City and I believe it may have been its premiere. Several people involved with the production were there and I had the opportunity to talk to them and tell them how pleased I am they told this story. These young people are genuinely ardent and keen to tell a story that must be told. I grew up in Tulsa, OK, and if Daddy hadn't told me about the Tulsa Race Riots no one else would have. Our schools didn't teach us. I'm not going to recommend this film for its superiority in any of the Oscar-related fields. But I do recommend it. The actors are fresh and clearly passionate; the writer and directors told us a story that has been left buried, shuffled aside, suppressed. This is not a unique story. There were many from the same time period. Many more before and many more after. It is a story that must be told, must be learned, must never be forgotten.

Just a terrible movie.

Bad acting, bad screen play, the whole movie was just bad!

I was expecting a really good movie since it was based on a true story.
