Stories Painted on the Walls. History Spoken in the Streets.
The Greenwood Griot Mural Tour is a guided storytelling experience that uses Greenwood’s murals as living chapters of Black Wall Street’s past, present, and future. Each stop pairs visual art with griot-style narration, revealing the stories, symbolism, and hidden meanings layered into the walls of the Historic Greenwood District. This tour explores how artists preserve memory, reclaim narrative, and imagine what Greenwood can become, connecting murals to the people, events, and movements they represent. More than an art walk, the Mural Tour is a conversation between history and creativity, inviting participants to see Greenwood not only as it was, but as it continues to speak through color, form, and voice.
