@cspanofficial: Viola Ford Fletcher, one of the last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, died Monday at the age of 111. Here she is testifying before Congress in May 2021. #violafordfletcher #tulsaracemassacre #cspan
107 years old and as sharp and eloquent as can be I can’t even imagine the trauma and fear of surviving such a horrific tragedy.

I heard applause but no acknowledgment or apology, hope there was more to this recording. I’ve read the history of Greenwood , the horror they suffered is shameful

This is a perfect example of why monetary reparations are a thing and why they are valid and needed. Her, her family, and her community never received the justice they deserved. Saying, “sorry” does not fix the generational harm that has been done.

This woman, this black woman needs to be recognized and her pain needs to be acknowledged. Our government has wasted on ballrooms but this woman, as an innocent child endured the worst of humanity! Shame shame, US, shame dumptrump, shame humanity. How can we continue to allow the intolerance to continue with races, unhoused, or different religions, shame shame, US. I do not wash you away my mother my sister, thank you!

stoking the flames of racism, during a volitile time. I don't disagree with reparations and rememberance. But who decided to bring this up, now, when division is such an effective tactic. did this beautiful woman decide all on her own to come up and make this presentation? or was it suggested to her? it'd be a shame for her pain, vulnerability, and struggles to be used purely to stoke the flames as opposed for purely reparations and rememberance. I mean no disrespect but this is what went thru my mind. so sorry she had to experience this pain.

💔 RIP. Im so sad she was not able to see what she wanted. ❤️107 and 4th grade education and so much more intelligent and articulate than what we currently have. I listened to some of today's speech, can't tell me anything.
