111? RIP to you, Viola. Let's all try to remember that we do not know which historical events we will be witness to. Let's all do our best in our communities. This Thursday will be a good day to ask the elders among us to share their memories of the past.
Breaking: Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died. She was 111 years old
