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.
