Today we honor Mother Viola Fletcher on her heavenly birthday. 🤍
At 7 years old, she survived the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. At 107, she testified before Congress. At 109, she published her memoir, Don’t Let Them Bury My Story. She lived 111 years as a beacon of resilience, truth, and unyielding faith.
I was proud to stand with her in the Senate fight to enshrine Greenwood — Black Wall Street — as a national monument so her story is never forgotten.
Rest in power, Mother Fletcher. Your light still guides us.

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.
