I remember watching Lassie as a kid and I remember that Dodge pickup truck the father had. And I also remember June from when I was a tween and watching Lost In Space.

Unredeemed, but he tried.


She outlived the White Devils who tried to erase her:

Mother Viola Ford Fletcher, One Of Last Survivors Of Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies At 111 Years Old
Mother Viola Ford Fletcher was an instrumental voice in remembering those lost in the massacre.

Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, has died.

Fletcher lived through one of the deadliest white supremacist attacks in the nation, the massacre that greatly destroyed “Black Wall Street” in Tulsa. Now, the city mourns one of its greatest elders and symbols of resilience through dark times.

We’re saddened to share the passing of Mother Viola Fletcher, the oldest known survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Her life was a testament to strength, truth, and the power of speaking out, even when the world tried to look away.

She spent decades making sure this nation remembered what happened in Tulsa and pushing for the justice her community was long denied. Her voice moved generations, and her legacy will continue to lead us.

#RestInPower, Mother Fletcher.

Her death was announced on Nov. 24 by the current Mayor of Tulsa, Monroe Nichols. Also, the city’s first Black mayor, Nichols, noted the legacy and life of this mother figure in the community.

“Today, our city mourns the loss of Mother Viola Fletcher – a survivor of one of the darkest chapters in our city’s history. Mother Fletcher endured more than anyone should, yet she spent her life lighting a path forward with purpose. Mother Fletcher carried 111 years of truth, resilience, and grace and was a reminder of how far we’ve come and how far we must still go,” wrote Nichols ...

Born in 1914, Fletcher was a young girl when she endured such a grave act of racial violence in her hometown. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and escalated racial tensions, a mob of thousands destroyed the prosperous Black town by burning down its businesses and leaving nearly 300 Black Tulsans dead, according to the Equal Justice Initiative. Deemed by the Justice Department as a “Coordinated, Military-Style Attack,” it remains one of the darkest moments in U.S. history....
