Yeah i was gonna say Rosewood too.
Wasnt sure if there actually WAS a Black Wall Street joint i didnt know about.
Crazy how they're both based upon similar true stories about prosperous Black towns being destroyed by jealous cacs.
A Black Wall Street movie probably couldn't be made now because the story would have to be heavily sanitized (see: Harriet) so it wouldn't offend anybody.

Look here man. How long y'all....we been saying we want to see a black story that don't have nothing to do with hood or slave shyt. This is what we've been asking for, for years. Something black and different and actually good. I hope to the almighty we get a second season of this piff

The closest we got was the movie Rosewood. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
Fun fact: when Rosewood first was released in theaters, there was a money back guarantee included in the closing credits. If (white) people were offended by the portrayal of racist cacs, they could receive a rebate for their movie tickets.
The movie Rosewood confirmed that white people weren’t just awful in the Caribbean.

Where do you go in the second season? I hope there isn’t a third.

Lindoff said time is moving differently for ozy. Notice last episode the trial was starting and we on day 365 now. The first time we see ozy writing a play and next episode his clones are performing it. Ozy storyline is taking place over a span of years where on Earth it's only been a few weeks
