- Video from May 19, 2021 via C-SPAN. Viola Fletcher, who just turned 107, said in an address that she is "asking my country to acknowledge what happened in Tulsa in 1921."
This woman is an amazing human being.
Yes she is and may the Lord continue to Bless her and her family! Now pay up!
Wow she looks so good to be 107. We will never forget you!
BY FAR the most important news story I've heard in many years if not in my life. These words should be met with a long overdue sense of URGENCY AND IMMEDIATE ACTION !!! I will personally vow to do my part by sharing this as far a I can.
AGREED
Massacre not riot.....
Mam, I am so very sorry for all of it- this terrible event and countless others. I am thankful for your witness, that you had a moment to educate and to REMIND the world of this sickening history- that is still here, festering. I pray everyday for a change of hearts in this country, as well as reparations and respect.
Wow. Just to hear her speak is amazing.
What about the Mass Grave where over 300 people was dumped & buried
Her voice is so strong and clear.
Love you mother!
How is it possible that the city of Tulsa has not offered this brave survivor any help?
People are still as racist as they always have been and don’t believe in black reparations
These ppl should have already been compensated. The evidence is clear. Thousands dead. A rich and prosperous city burned down.
Who are ‘these ppl’ that you refer to? And what is the evidence? Appreciate your clarification.
Why are you asking such a question ?
The evidence is on film and photogrhaps from when massacre took place .
You got to b an ass.
@@violakld What Shelbourne said as well as the mass graves where hundreds of bodies were dumped.
People are as racist as they always have been , they don’t believe in reparations
GODS Blessings To You Queen And Your Brother And All Who Are Still Living After This Unjustifiable Act Justice For Just Us…
Bravo and thank you madam. You impress me.
Viola you are a heroín...

Much love to you Mrs. Fletcher ❤
She is so blessed to alert at this age, thank God for her blessings.
I hope for an equal world for both of our grandchildren's grandchildren
They gave her a standing ovation. To bad more senators were not there to witness it. It's not every day a 107-yr old black woman of mental clarity has sight to read her testimony of events in that horrific Tulsa race riot.
They should have gave her reparations for her loses. It shows it meant nothing to them what she said. Did they corrected any of this country wrongs? They would say they weren't around back then. But her u have a woman that was.
@@larrybillups5689 Race relations will not heal until there is a formal apology by the US for the egregious wrongs committed enslaving abusing & killing African slaves whose sons & daughters became American citizens. Until America first addresses its guilt & participation, nothing of consequence can follow.
@@carolfleetwood2419 She did an interview 10 years ago at OSU and said she never experienced the riot. Her grandson is putting her up to this. I’m sorry real people went thru this but her family is grifters.
@@mikeg2491 prove it
Greetings, can I use this video for a webinar that I am organising?
GOD BLESS YOU BEAUTIFUL QUEEN
100 years ago today.
Our history. True Black History. I am very moved. I am in tears.
NEVER FORGET .... RIP TO ALL
