12:55Now PlayingViola Ford Fletcher, one of the last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, died this week at the age of 111. Fletcher's life and work as a "memory keeper" is a reminder that "history can move us forward, it can inspire us," Harvard University Professor Imani Perry tells Charles Coleman. It's important to remember Tulsa and other stories of "Black prosperity, Black thriving, and Black resistance to white supremacy," adds Vanderbilt University Professor Michael Eric Dyson.
