2 Tulsa Race Massacre Survivors Attend Memorial Event At Standpipe Hill

By: Ashley Holden
TULSA, Oklahoma -
Monday marked 100 years since the start of one of the most infamous moments in Tulsa’s history.
On that day, the Greenwood District was burned down. Hundreds were killed.
Black Wall Street is much smaller than it was a century ago.
People gathered Monday to remember those that were lost, still unknown and to mark the ground as sacred.
Two survivors of the massacre were at the event.
"To our dear survivors, Mr. Ellis and Mother Fletcher," U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (Georgia) said. "We are so indebted to you for your example."
The survivors of the massacre are why people finally learned what happened 100 years ago.
