Vision For Vernon AME’s Stained-Glass Windows Closer To Reality After $20,000 Donation
Tulsa s historic Vernon AME Church is $20,000 closer to some much-anticipated renovations.
The organization, Daughters of the American Revolution, gave a large donation to Pastor Robert Turner Wednesday, in the hopes of doing something good for the congregation. This means a lot to us here at Vernon, it really does, said Pastor Robert Turner.
Tulsa s Vernon AME Church is on an international stage because of the history of the building and the resilience of its members.
That story of perseverance is one Pastor Robert Turner wants reflected in the stained-glass windows of the Refuge Room, the basement of the church where people hid during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
