In this powerful three part series of “The Voice of Leadership,” Dr. Karen Wilson-Starks examines the rise and destruction of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s landmark sermon, “The Death of Evil Upon the Seashore.” Together, these events illuminate enduring truths about economic justice, systemic oppression, moral leadership, and God’s ultimate triumph over evil.
Through historical analysis, Biblical reflection, and leadership insight, Dr. Karen explores how the Greenwood District flourished through collaboration, entrepreneurship, and shared values—only to be violently destroyed through racial hatred, political corruption, and the suppression of truth. She then connects these historical events to Dr. King’s prophetic message, reminding listeners that evil may appear powerful, though it never prevails in the end.
This series challenges leaders, organizations, and communities to confront uncomfortable truths, examine systemic practices, and choose life, justice, and love in the face of adversity.
