Dream Hampton will be both the director and executive producer of ‘Black Wall Street.’

As protests erupt all across U.S. cities in the wake of George Flyod’s murder, the producer of ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ is set to direct a limited documentary series about the Tulsa Race Massacre. ‘Black Wall Street’ will focus on the murders of over 300 African Americans between May 31 and June 1, 1921 in the Greenwood District.

Hampton commented, “Black people from Tulsa have refused to let the Greenwood District Massacre be erased from history. I’m so inspired by their persistence to lift up the stories of what North Tulsa was before the massacre. As the centennial approaches they are still searching for a mass grave they believe contains the bodies of the victims of the Black Wall Street Massacre, and they are still demanding reparations. I’m inspired to learn this history from them, and to tell their ongoing story.”

The president and commercial director of Cineflix Productions, J.C. Mills, cited the tragic stories of  George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery when describing his vocation for the limited series, commenting, “there’s still much work to be done.”
