Description
No Tears Suite - live from historic Vernon AME Church on Greenwood Ave. in Tulsa - will stream on our Facebook page on Saturday, September 25 at 7:30 pm CDT.
Vernon AME Church is the last extant Black-owned structure in the Black Wall Street district of Tulsa; the church was burned to the basement in 1921 during the Tulsa race massacre and rebuilt in subsequent years. During Saturday evening’s event, Vernon AME’s recently restored Hammond CV organ, historic microphones, and RCA Victor Speaker will also be reinstated in the church’s sanctuary.
The No Tears Suite is a monumental ode to the Little Rock Nine and was performed at Central High School National Historic Site in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Little Rock Central High School’s integration.
