Three survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre spoke before a House Judiciary subcommittee on Wednesday.

The month of March 2021 marks 100 years since the tragic Tulsa Race Massacre in Oklahoma. In two days, around 300 residents of the predominately-Black neighborhood of Greenwood were killed, while 10,000 more were displaced due to firebombing. On Wednesday, three living survivors of the bombings–Viola Fletcher, her brother Hughes Van Ellis, and Lessie Benningfield Randle–testified before a House Judiciary Subcommittee about their experiences. Watch the full testimony below.

“I will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home. I still see Black men being shot, Black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire. I still see Black businesses being burned. I still hear airplanes flying overhead. I hear the screams,” Fletcher said. “I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot.”
