Viola Ford Fletcher, Survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111 Viola Ford Fletcher—known as “Mother Fletcher,” one of the last living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre—has passed away at age 111. At just seven years old, she witnessed the destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood district—once known as “Black Wall Street”—by a white mob that killed hundreds and razed 35 city blocks. Fletcher spent her later years testifying before Congress, advocating for reparations, and publishing her memoir Don’t Let Them Bury My Story. She leaves a legacy of resilience and a history that must not be forgotten. #ViolaFletcher #TulsaRaceMassacre #BlackWallStreet #HistoricalJustice #Legacy #CivilRights #BreakingNews
