O. W. Gurley | Black Wall Street Tulsa. In 1906, Gurley moved to Tulsa where he purchased 40 acres of land which was only to be sold to African Americans. Black ownership of land was unheard of at that time. Black Wall Street was born!

On March 11, 1867, House Speaker Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania introduced a bill (H.R. 29) that outlined a plan for confiscated land in the "confederate States of America." Section four of the proposed bill explicitly called for land to be distributed to former slaves:
“Out of the lands thus seized and confiscated, the slaves who have been liberated by the operations of the war and the amendment of the Constitution or otherwise, who resided in said "confederate States" on the 4th day of March, A.D. 1861 or since, shall have distributed to them as follows namely: to each male person who is the head of a family, forty acres; to each adult male, whether the head of the family or not, forty acres; to each widow who is the head of a family, forty acres; to be held by them in fee simple, but to be inalienable for the next ten years after they become seized thereof. .At the end of ten years the absolute title to said homesteads shall be conveyed to said owners or to the heirs of such as are then dead.”

In support of his bill, Thaddeus Stevens stated, "Withhold from them all their rights and leave them destitute of the means of earning a livelihood, [and they will become] the victims of the hatred or cupidity of the rebels whom they helped to conquer."
