The Tulsa Race Massacre and How It Affected Black Wealth: An Interview with Kevin Matthews II

The Mental Health and Wealth Show

To close out Black History Month, I interviewed my friend Kevin Matthews about the Tulsa Race Massacre also known as the Black Wall Street Massacre. In this episode, learn the mental health and wealth implications of this massacre - the generational trauma and racial wealth gap - and how to help close that gap. Plus, find out how Kevin is building intergenerational wealth for his family and learn what happened with GameStop a few weeks ago.

"I have to wonder how much different my community would look like today. Like that’s not too far removed, my great-grandparents may have benefitted from that. Again they called it a riot instead of a massacre at the time to deny insurance claims." - Kevin Matthews
