Vernon A.M.E. Church

Vernon A.M.E. Church, founded in 1905, retains the only standing structure, its basement, left from Historic Black Wall Street. It is the only edifice remaining from the worst race massacre in American history, with reconstruction beginning in 1925-6 just four years after the Tulsa race carnage. The site possesses national significance for commemorating the history of racial intolerance against African-Americans and for understanding race relations in the U.S. under legal segregation. Vernon A.M.E. Church stands as a memorial to the victims and a testament to the community's resilience.
