@pbsnews: Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died at 111 years old. Fletcher was just 7 years old when a white mob destroyed the Greenwood district of Tulsa, once known as Black Wall Street, killing hundreds, burning businesses, schools, and churches, and leaving as many as 10,000 people homeless. Fletcher was one of two survivors who sued the state of Oklahoma seeking damages from the city. Last year the state's Supreme Court rejected their case, dealing a serious setback to a decades-long fight for reparations. Fletcher’s grandson, in confirming her passing, said “she had a beautiful smile on her face… she loved life, she loved people.” #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #news #tulsa #oklahoma #blackhistory
