Did you know the stained glass windows at Vernon A.M.E. Church were created in the aftermath of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, and some of the panes include the names of the congregation members who contributed to the church’s construction - many of them survivors of the violence that destroyed much of the Greenwood District on May 31 and June 1, 1921?

Join us next Saturday, May 25th (the week of the 103rd anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre), for our newest tour - GREENWOOD: In Partnership to learn more about these incredible stained glass windows and much, much more!
