In Loving Memory of Mrs. Viola Ford Fletcher
The Last Living Witness of the Tulsa Race Massacre
Today, we honor the extraordinary life and unbreakable spirit of Mrs. Viola Fletcher, a woman whose memory held the truth of one of America’s darkest chapters—and whose voice became a beacon of justice, courage, and dignity for generations.
Born into a world that tried to silence her story, Mrs. Fletcher lived long enough to see that story finally heard. At just seven years old, she survived the terror of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, carrying its weight not as bitterness, but as testimony. For more than a century, she stood as a living bridge between history and hope, reminding us that truth must be spoken, and justice must be pursued.
Her grace, wisdom, and unwavering strength transformed pain into purpose. She inspired a nation to remember, to reckon, and to repair. And though she has taken her rest, her legacy remains—a testament to resilience, a champion of remembrance, and a guardian of the memories of those who never had the chance to speak.
May Mrs. Viola Fletcher’s life forever call us to honor the past, uplift the oppressed, and build a future worthy of her courage.
May she rest in power, peace, and eternal light……

Viola “Mother” Fletcher, the oldest known living survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, has passed away.
Mother Fletcher was a living monument to our history, our grief, and our fight. A century after the flames of Greenwood, she stood before Congress and demanded reparations, recognition, and repair.
She spent her life reminding America of the truth it tried to forget and urging us to build a future worthy of the lives lost and the legacy she protected.
Rest well, Mother Fletcher.
