After surviving the violence of Wilmington, North Carolina, the McKoy family seeks a new beginning in Tulsa’s Greenwood District—one of the most prosperous Black communities in America. Samuel McKoy, now older and shaped by the memories of 1898, works to rebuild a life for himself, Mary Agnes, and their children along the lively streets of Black Wall Street.
Greenwood is thriving, its businesses bustling and its families determined to create the future Wilmington never allowed. But beneath the success and celebration, Samuel senses a familiar shift—quiet glances, whispered conversations, and a tension he recognizes from years past.
In the spring of 1921, unrest begins to ripple through Tulsa. Rumors spread. Nerves tighten. And as the city edges closer to conflict, Samuel sees the same dangerous pattern that once tore his childhood home apart. When violence erupts on May 31st, the McKoy family is thrust into another fight for survival, caught in the heart of one of the darkest moments in American history.
Set against the fall of Black Wall Street, “November 10th: The Shadows of the NINEth” continues the McKoys’ powerful journey through truth, resilience, and the enduring weight of memory. It is a story of family, survival, and the echoes of history that refuse to remain silent.
