Viola Fletcher Reflects on Surviving the Tulsa Race Massacre, Over 100 Years Later. Karen Hunter
The fact that this dear lady still sleeps sitting up, prepared to run if need be is beyond heartbreaking. That judge...no words.
I was thinking the same thing ... its mind blowing .
Living history. Thank you, Sister Hunter. Thank you.
This one was heavy. To see Queen Mother gives me pause and joy. Professor Hunter, you truly were blessed to have been in the presence of living history. Peace and Blessings to you, and to Queen Mother Fletcher, thank you for living to tell your story, Ase, Aseo
Thank you for providing the once in a lifetime documentary for our people; anger is how I feel especially with the judge’s decision regarding the lawsuit.
This just feels me up. Hearing mother Fletchers voice. Omg they deserved reparations for all they went through. My heart hurts.
Oh my goodness.
This is a good interview.
Precious mother.
Sleeps sitting up to be ready. This touched me.
*@Karen, I'm so happy that you incorporated the JOY questions! You're absolutely correct, so many of us know the traumas of her story (and the other Tulsa narratives) but not so much the 'Happy Times'.*
*I once interviewed a famous person (that you know) she was beyond traumatized as a child. I hated looking at interviews that would make her relive the PAIN. When I interviewed the 'Sheroe', I asked her about her favorite songs and childhood games, her face lit up and she began to tell me things that none of the other interviewers were able to attain. Also, thank you for asserting that Mother Viola is EXTREMELY EDUCATED, EXTREMELY!!!!!* 💕👑💕
This interview was the best thing I've heard today. I am amazed by this elder's strength and joy! What a blessing to remind folk we are a resilient people.
Thank you for shutting all the fake news down about what has happened through out our history. We are a resilient and hard working people. We built this country.👊🏾 Grateful for this interview
Karen you are truly blessed to sit at the foot of this elder. Thank you for this amazing interview.
I broke down in tears. This interview rocked me to my core. We are such a bold, beautiful and tenacious people. I am indeed humbled by this beautiful elder's words and spirit. Thank you Professor Hunter for sharing this extraordinary blessing with us!
💛💚
Thank you, Karen! To listen to this elder tell her store was a treasure. I wish I could have listened to my great grandmother before she passed at 105.
This interview shook me. I cried watching this beautiful soul talk with us. Mother Fletcher is GOD’s living testament today for this catastrophe. Continued blessing upon her, brother and the other living survivor. Thank you Prof Hunter…amazing interview.
I'm so thankful for this interview. We are blessed to hear from Mother Fletcher.
Thank you Professor Hunter for the interview with Mother Fletcher. The Truth!!! pnl
Professor Hunter, thank you for sharing this conversation with Mother Viola Fletcher. She is a jewel! kudos
I cried this whole interview. Thank you Professor Hunter for sharing this
So many emotions watching and listening to this Dr. Hunter. Thank you
Nothing of literary importance to say, but this right here, is ALL of the things.
It's deeply personal and emotional to see Mother sit and speak to us.
Nuff said. So very grateful for this gifting of her story to us.
The judge refusing to issue reparations to the Tulsa Massacre survivors is sinful and evil. These people live to be 100 years old. And the judge not ruling in their favor is just evil.
Thank you so very much Karen for getting a visual record, she reminds me so much of my maternal grandmother, great grandmother that I knew very well into adulthood and late teens respectively. She even looks similar to them and my great-great-great granny's photos. Bless mother Fletcher, her loving grandson and you Karen for this living evidence of legacy 🙏
Many, many thanks Prof. Hunter for sharing this with us all. My mind and heart are so full, all I can say is 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That judge going to pay for this American is going to pay that's exactly why this country is falling
Exceedingly glad to see her! Amazing. Thanks so much for speaking with her.
Thank you Professor Hunter I'm going in to the SiriusXM app to finish watching this. ❣
What was lost was invaluable and it is invaluable what was lost! Her cadence of speech is very familiar; the intelligence is evident. Knowledge is everything for this generation, my own grandmother (b. 1918) is about the age of mother Fletcher and she loves Family Feud and Jeopardy. 🥰👏🏾❣🤲🏾🙏🏽🙌🏾
It is a blessing for us to hear her story. She is amazing and I pray that her family continue to tell the story for generations to come. Don't ever let the story be forgotten.
Just listening to this powerhouse of a woman brought me to tears…. Thank you so much for focusing on the joy
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! God bless Mrs. Fletcher … 🙏🏽 Tearfully heartwarming …❤ Thank you for sharing!
💛
Her voice is Awesome. 😮
What an incredible interview Ms. Hunter... It is incumbent upon us to Take A Stand Now regarding the dissimal of the case...Tens of billions provided by America to Ukraine yet Constitutional Conservative judge Wall deemed this case did not meet the criteria? Time to withhold our 1.5 TRILLION-350 days in Montgomery again today until Reparations are provided NOW to the three remaining Centurions.
She’s so beautiful! I’m glad that she was able to tell her story.
This is sad, and I am grateful, too, because my family member was 108, and she would NOT talk. She took all that to her grave though she was raised in WDC; still, I know she knew stuff. She transitioned in 2021...Sadness and Joy, joy...Viola Fletcher, be blessed...
Beautiful interview Karen!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you Karen for this conversation with this beautiful elder.
Karen,
I'm sure this is just another display of your character (which you've demonstrated consistently on your show), but I don't know you personally. That being said, I want to personally THANK you for the care, respect, gentleness, and grace that you displayed during this interview. Mother Fletcher is a JEWEL who reminds me of the matriarchs of my family. They shaped generations of people who grew up to care for and love our communities. Every time Mother Fletcher laughed, I heard my mother (who passed in '22), my aunts, great aunts and grandmothers.
The rich history and identity (that was systematically attacked) lives within our elders, and therefore its a gift inherited (our generational wealth).
The care and respect you shared at the feet of the amazing woman was priceless, and gives tribute to ALL of our matriarchs.
Thanks again...
thank you.
Professor Hunter, thank you for bringing Miss Fletcher's story to me. Peace be with everyone.
Thank you, Professor Hunter, for sharing this conversation with this beautiful lady.
She is our living history. I want to read her book.
This is why I LOVE LOVE LOVE you Sis.Hunter and everything you do. This interview is one of your cleanest glass of water. This interview brought me joy,anger, pain, and laughter all at the same time. But I welcome it all. Thank you,Thank you,Thank you.. I pray for peace and comfort for mother Fletcher and I pray for guidance and blessings for you Sis Hunter. 💐💐💐🙏🏾
Thank you so much for this interview. Having this documented in the archives of SXM is priceless. This is a seed of our humanity we can learned from and grow. What are some of the things we should do - Viola Fletcher 🌳Family Motto If you know right , do right
Thank You for sharing your story. 🙏❗♥️♥️
Prof, you sitting at Mother Fletcher’s feet stirred up something within me. Oh the honor to share time and space with her. This furthers my knowing that the world we create through Knarrative and Knubia will be torn and new. Sending so much love from HTX.
This is so beautiful. Thank Karen for sharing this gold mind with us. What a treasure. I would love to have been sitting at her side. Oh my .
Thank you for this interview! Ms. Fletcher is very well spoken and such the lady!
I enjoyed your interview with Mother Fletcher. She is a wise, beautiful woman. May she find Justice for her family, peace, and rest from her trying journey living through the Black Wallstreet massacre. God keeps a hedge around you, Mother Fletcher. 🙏
What an amazing woman and great interview. Good bless her!
Thank you. ❤🙏🏽 Mother Fletcher reminds me of my grandmother who would be 107 today. She had her favorite TV shows too.

Thank you and bless you Professor Hunter, for this gift of allowing us to sit with you at the feet of this living Saint. And I even feel like saint is too small a word even for her. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
❤this warmed my heart Karen. Thank you so much. I sent a link so my teenagers can sit with Mother Fletcher
Thanks professor Hunter for doing this interview as, a black man hearing mama Fletcher speaking about what happened over hundred years ago and her memories are fresh as a daisy is priceless and as African she reminds of my grandmother how we used to sit during the moonlight listening to her impacting with stories and wisdom.
Professor Karen Hunter, Jesus! Glory b 2 God!!😢Thank u!!!❤❤❤❤

De Nada...Ase!
Lord, thank you for doing this. The fact that God has keep them here to tell their stories is nothing short of amazing!
thank you Karen, never forget History, this must be taught in schools as well
Bless you Professor Hunter for blessings us with this moment of reflection with our Elder. This is how ancestral memory is sustained. May the Creator cover and keep each of you.
WE MUST NEVER FORGET !!
❤❤❤
Wow Karen, this interview is a National Treasure. It’s unfortunate that the day I watched this is the day the court decided to drop this case. It made me cry. I’m beyond frustrated that these people didn’t get justice in this case.
Thank you Karen 🙌🏾... The descendants deserve justice.
These demons just destroy. God bless her.
Not enough people know this story.
For those that do recall, let's make sure their stories are captured, along with their voices and preserved for posterity.
So glad she gets to tell her story! She is precious and I love how he takes care of her. From SC lowcountry and I too was reared to never trust them. In other words, feed them with a long handled spoon. Never forget!
God bless Mother Fletcher
This Woman has been through so mush and for a judge( devil) to throw out that case for Justice and Financial Rightness is crazy. Them people will get their Justice before GOD HIMSELF!!!!!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
🔥🔥🔥
Blessings to Mother Fletcher
The education, wisdom and information she has can not be found in any book. We have to stop putting scholastic training in such a high pedestal and start tapping into the natural born intelligence we all possess. Everyone wants all the power and that’s another problem, but love how she doesn’t to care to much about having all the power… she is truly wise. This just reassures me that folks now days want to exaggerate there experience, when are parents and great grandparents had set the standard 100 years ago, and already gave there blood, sweat, and tears. To civilize this place for you and I.
Tears came to my eyes listening to this elder. I send out a lot of love to Mother Fletcher. That no good judge nothing but a piece of racist filth and trash.
You said it that exactly what that judge is racist evil witch
Bless this beautiful queen
Heartbreaking but she is still Hopeful!!!
...I'm sick.
JESUS
Hearing these stories and remembering my own family stories of times during segregation, I have to just breathe through it. Its just too much sometimes. Sometimes i have to disassociate when melaneimic people downplay what happened and continues to happen to us
Wow ...Tuskegee Institute experiment interview mixed judge Tracy hunter, case Cincinnati
Exactly… it’s a trust factor!!
"BAND TOGETHER & BOYCOTT"
That’s why tornadoes tears up that state
#QueenMaDukes
How was it Interviewing someone who wears her #title well, too?
it was humbling...
So which university is going to bestow upon this treasure her degrees? I’m serious.
Bless This amazing women.
I would love to know how she feels about seeing blacks destroying their communities and killing each other.
These young people need to hear her story. What people of color once had they can have again
