概要

Forever Black History: The 111-Year Witness – Part 2: The Century of Silence
After the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre destroyed Black Wall Street, the city tried to erase the entire event from history. But one little girl carried the truth for a century. In Part 2 of this powerful three-part series, host Anthony Smith explores Mother Viola Ford Fletcher’s long road through silence and survival.
Viola’s family fled Tulsa and joined the Great Migration. She later became a shipyard welder during World War II, building ships for a country that had firebombed her neighborhood as a child. For over 70 years she worked as a domestic, cleaning homes while quietly living with nightmares and the lights always on.
This episode also connects Viola’s story to America’s larger pattern of destroyed Black towns — from Seneca Village buried under Central Park in New York, to Rosewood and Ocoee burned to the ground in Florida, Oscarville submerged under Lake Lanier, and Nicodemus, Kansas fighting to preserve its legacy on the prairie.
As the silence around the Tulsa Massacre finally begins to crack, we see how one survivor refused to let her story — and the truth of Greenwood — be buried forever.
Part 2 of the three-part series “The Mother Viola Ford Fletcher Story.”
