One of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre's last survivors, Viola Ford Fletcher, dies age 111

She was 7 years old when the two-day attack began on Tulsa's Greenwood district on May 31, 1921, after a local newspaper published a sensationalized report about a Black man accused of assaulting a white woman. As a white mob grew outside the courthouse, Black Tulsans with guns who hoped to prevent the man's lynching began showing up. White residents responded with overwhelming force.
