     Viola Ford Fletcher — known to the world as Mother Fletcher is the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and one of the most powerful living witnesses to America’s suppressed history. Born in 1914, she was only seven years old when mobs burned the prosperous Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street, destroying her family’s home, livelihood, and sense of safety in a single night. For nearly a century she carried those memories quietly, but with unshakable clarity the screams, the smoke, the terror in the streets, the planes overhead. When she finally testified before Congress at age 107, her words cut through the nation’s conscience and reignited a global demand for justice and reparations.
