TULSA One of the exterior walls of a historic church was dedicated as a sacred place of prayer on Monday during an interfaith ceremony in the Greenwood District.
Numerous local, state and national religious and elected leaders, including civil rights and social justice activists the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Bishop William J. Barber II gathered to dedicate the new Prayer Wall for Racial Healing at Vernon African Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Rev. Robert Turner, Vernon s senior pastor, said when he learned that only the exterior wall of the church s basement survived the massacre, he was inspired by the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem to create a special prayer wall at his historic house of worship, 311 N Greenwood.
