Church Creates Prayer Room Dedicated To Sharing Tulsa Race Massacre Story
Tulsa’s First Baptist Church opened a prayer room Monday dedicated to sharing the tragic history of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Use your mind to travel back one full century, narrator Phil Armstrong said.
As visitors step into the prayer room, they are guided through six stops, with Armstrong s voice leading the way through their headphones. He is the project director for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission. This is a significant way for our community to move forward together, said Armstrong.
He and First Baptist Pastor Deron Spoo worked together to make the room a reality and a place to visit for the next 121 days leading up to the Race Massacre centennial. The Red Cross report and newspaper articles reveal that in 1921, First Baptist church opened at least one room to help massacre victims seeking refuge.
