The Black Oil Company History Deliberately Erased in 1917

In 1917, four Black entrepreneurs—Wilson Newman, J.C. Pratt, S.M. Holland, and Heston Welborn—founded the Ardmore Lubricating Oil Company in Oklahoma during the height of Jim Crow segregation. Operating from the "wrong side" of East 2nd Street in Oklahoma City, they purchased a 100-acre oil lease in the Healdton oilfield and struck high-grade lubricating oil worth five times the market price. These pioneers sold shares to the Black community for just one dollar, democratizing oil wealth in an era when African Americans were systematically excluded from such opportunities. By 1920, they announced plans to build their own refinery in Tatums, Oklahoma—creating a fully Black-owned oil operation from drilling to refining. Yet while every American learns about Rockefeller and Standard Oil, the Ardmore Lubricating Oil Company has been erased from history books. This is the untold story of Black oil pioneers who defied a segregated system and built an empire that history tried to forget.
