Only two other survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre are still alive, Hughes Van Ellis' sister, Viola Ford Fletcher, 109 and Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108.
Hughes Van Ellis, one of the last remaining survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre, died on Monday at the age 102, Oklahoma State Rep. Regina Goodwin confirmed to CBS News. Van Ellis, known as 'Uncle Redd,' survived the 1921 racist act of terrorism on the city's thriving Black community in the Greenwood District, which was known as 'Black Wall Street.
''It was getting to be a pretty nice place' before the riots began, Randle told King. 'They had a theater and other places of recreation and they had churches — and they came in and tore it all down.'White mobs infiltrated the neighborhood, destroying more than 1,000 homes and nearly every business — symbols of prosperity, ripped away.'There was a notice out on the street: 'Leave town. Leave town, they're killing all of the Black people,'' Fletcher said.
