Viola Fletcher, and Lessie Benningfield Randle
Supporting the Last Two Survivors of Black Wall Street

*Campaign Description:*

We are launching this campaign to raise funds for two houses for the last two remaining survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre, which devastated Black Wall Street in 1921. These two individuals, Viola Fletcher, 110, and Lessie Benningfield Randle, 110, have endured unimaginable trauma and loss. It's time for us to come together and show our appreciation for their resilience and contributions to our collective history.

*Goal:* $1,500,000

*Breakdown of Funds:*

- $1,000,000: Purchase of two homes, one for each survivor and their family.
- $300,000: Ongoing Support services for the survivors, including healthcare and personal care
