We pause today to honor Mother Viola Ford Fletcher — a torchbearer of truth, justice, and unwavering courage.

Mother Fletcher carried the stories of Greenwood with grace and determination, ensuring that the world could no longer look away from the truth of 1921. Through her voice, generations found clarity, accountability, and the momentum to keep pushing for justice.

As we reflect on her passing, our hearts are with the Fletcher family and all who held her dear. Her life was a bridge between past and present — a living reminder of what was lost, and a guiding light for the responsibility we all share to remember, to teach, and to act.



May we continue the work she carried so faithfully.
May her legacy strengthen our resolve.
And may her memory forever be a blessing to Greenwood and to the world.

Honoring Our Veterans
Today, Greenwood Rising honors the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Their courage, commitment, and sacrifice have shaped our nation—and their stories remain essential to understanding our shared history.

We also want to recognize C.L. Daniel, a U.S. Army veteran, along with other Black soldiers who lost their lives during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Their service and sacrifice were cut short by the violence that devastated the Greenwood community, and their stories are powerful reminders of the many veterans whose contributions have been overlooked or forgotten.

The legacy of Black military service runs deep in Greenwood. For generations, Black veterans have answered the call to serve—even when the freedoms they fought to protect were not fully extended to them at home. Their resilience, courage, and commitment continue to inspire the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality.

On this Veterans Day, we pause to honor all who have served—and to uplift the stories that history has too often left untold.

To every veteran: thank you for your service, your courage, and your enduring impact

On this Veterans Day, we pause to recognize their sacrifice, acknowledge the history that often goes untold, and express our profound gratitude.

To all veterans: thank you for your service, your dedication, and your enduring impact.

Did you know?

On October 18, 1775, Phillis Wheatley, the first African American poet to publish a book, was freed from slavery.

Born in West Africa and enslaved at age seven, she mastered English, Greek, and Latin with help from the Wheatley family in Boston. Her 1773 book, “Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral,” earned recognition across the Colonies and England.

Wheatley’s brilliance and resilience continue to inspire generations — a powerful reminder of why Black history facts matter.
