robert turner is the reverend at the vernon ame church. it was one of several burned to the ground during the massacre. the church was rebuilt with parishioners�* money as the insurers refused to pay out. after the massacre, - there was this movement by the white community to not ever talk about it _ because they knew they had gotten away with murder. . they didn't want to ever bring it up, and any of the black- people who brought it up, they were either killed, i run out of town or - intimidated into silence. not a single person was prosecuted for the murders, for the looting or for the arson. not one black family received a penny in compensation. it would take 75 years for there to be any official recognition that a massacre had taken place at all. and now, as tulsa marks the centenary, locating where the victims are buried is onlyjust beginning.
