As the oldest survivor and last living witness of the tragic events that unfolded in 1921, she shares her testimony with poignant clarity. From the terror of her childhood as a seven-year-old fleeing the burning streets of Greenwood to her current role as a 109-year-old family matriarch seeking justice for the affected families, Mother Fletcher takes us on a journey through a lifetime of pain and perseverance. Her inspiring story is a powerful reminder that some wounds never fully heal, and we must never forget the lessons of our history. 600 10 $a Ford Fletcher, Viola. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Tulsa Race Massacre, Tulsa, Okla., 1921. $9 218158 650 0 $a African Americans $z Tulsa $z Tulsa $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Tulsa (Okla.) $x History $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Howard, Ike. 941 $a 14 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20240614011837.0 952 $l RKPA371 $d 20240601011438.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010858.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20240116010107.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240106011033.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240102010523.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013214.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231202012008.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231005010914.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20231003013445.0 952 $l TZPC572 $d 20230909012513.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230906010424.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012524.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230829010204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64E4B9CC463111EEBB0236102CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
