RIP Viola Ford Fletcher

She was the last survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre. She died at the age of 111 on November 24.

For years, she never talked about what happened, out of fear of retaliation. But she testified before Congress in 2021. And she published a memoir.

I had never heard of this incident before! Something I would believe had happened in Mississippi or Alabama...so shameful!!!

@4meAndyou I sure never learned about it in school, either.

@DrWatson I suspect that a LOT of very shameful things are hidden from us.
