Seven years ago, when we sat down with the then-104-year-old Viola Fletcher, bmonthly had the privilege of sharing her story in 2018 and later visiting with her in person for an interview we will never forget.
She shared pieces of her life and experiences with us, and we still smile remembering the little bit of humor and wisdom she offered that day—proof of her gentle wit and resilient spirit.
We are grateful to have heard her voice, to have learned from her strength, and to have been entrusted with even a small part of her remarkable story.
