Viola Fletcher 107

It breaks my heart to think how young they were when it happened, and how even at that age it impacted them. 💔💔

Obligatory, I'm showing you the images of living victims to show you it wasn't that long ago because people are alive to remember it.

Obligatory don't forget this was Black Wallstreet that they burned down. Remember that Black people had made something for themselves since slavery, but white people burned it down.

Obligatory don't forget some of the people involved in burning it down were police officers.
