108 years old and sharp as tact. This lady should be a national treasure.

She's almost 108 years old. Presumably, for many years, she's been told numerous times, "Oh, just wait," "No, it's not the time right now," which is just a game of deflecting and delaying, hoping she would just forget about it. It's TRAUMATIC what she went through, and it's INDELIBLE in her mind, it's IMPOSSIBLE for her to forget about it, and she NEVER will, until it's her time. I pray she, her living family relatives, and other survivors do finally get justice.

It’s a shame that this country won’t even attempt to make amends.
-
I'm overjoyed that there's no statute of limitation on this abhorrent horrendous injustice - it has been a long time coming. I pray that this soft spoken lady & others will get recompense for this dastardly racist despicable act that was foisted on their community. Let the healing & closure begin.
-
Wow. This beautiful lady has lived thru a lot. God has blessed her with endurance, courage and strength.

"It's always the right time to do the right thing."
-
God kept her for such a time as this!!!!
-
Not wanting to pay for “yesterday’s” crimes is a cop out. Seriously, grow a spine!
-
Granny is sharper and looks younger than those who are denying her her rights. May they never have another day's peace.

What happened in 1921 impacted the family legacy, lives, businesses, homes were lost... This goes well beyond what people may see at face value. It is just too bad the victims and families were not able to receive compensation much sooner; I genuinely hope the lawsuit is successful and she lives to see it.
-
It is never too late for justice. They should not have kicked justice down the road.
-
Put some respect on her name
-
Once again this concludes why I feel lawmakers should make no more than 30,000 a year. Right is right and wrong is wrong, these people were wrong and it should be absolutely no second thought that the American government should pay back the damages! If we destroyed their property that's exactly what they would make us do

When jealousy creates evil.

No fault? Wrong is wrong and right is right regardless of the time that’s pass. These are the people your asking to do the right thing. The children, and grand children of those who did the crime.

I grew up in Tulsa and still live here. I hope she gets what she is seeking.. Happy early 108th birthday 🎉 🌹 💜 👑
-
Happy early Birthday Mother Fletcher!!! Thank you for still fighting for justice!
-
good for them . I hope they win.

Modern tax payers are ALWAYS paying for acts or decisions in the past. That how it works. Pretending anything else is just not wanting to make a full accounting for damage done.

Integrity is the word that's missing from that politicians mouth.
