So can i ask you this? we talked a lot about it yesterday. extraordinarily moving, whats been going on in tulsa, the recognition for really the first time in this countrys history. real recognition. but i am curious about one thing. when i was growing up, i think it was dannon yogurt that said there were parts in russia where people lived to be like 120 years old, so eat yogurt, youll live longer. i ate yogurt until i was 11 and found out that wasnt the case. then i heard in japan, japanese live...

Details and not flinching. i want to take a moment to listen to voila fletcher, 107 years old, one of the last living victims of this massacre. she testified on may 19th to a house hearing. lets listen to what she said. >> 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,...

Assaulted and killed because of the color of their skin, i think it drove them to keep living until they finally watched the president of the united states telling their story. >> validating -- >> how amazing at that age going through so much and seeing so much, willie, finally yesterday, 107, 104, 102, they actually see a president say what they have been waiting 100 years. >> they finally had their story told. it took all of the years, 100 years to have the story told. as the rev said, the pre...

And it is [inaudible] we have to look at the ugliness of our past, but we have to be willing to believe these things happened or else we leave ourselves open to them being re-committed in the present and future. >> thats why i chose that particular piece of the presidents speech that he was going into those real details, and not flinching. i want to take a moment to listen to viola fletcher, 107 years old one of the last living with victims of this massacre. she testified on may 19th to a house ...

There were parts in russia that people lived to be 120 years old, eat yogurt and youll live longer. i ate it until i was 11 and heard that wasnt the case. then i heard in japan, japanese live a long time so i started to eat sushi and then the french drink wine. what do they do in tulsa, oklahoma? like the president met with somebody who is like, 102? 106? 107? >> there were three -- >> over 100. >> three over 100 and the male survivor grabbed my hand, he said, i watch you all the time. and start...

We have at least three survivors for my understanding. some of them are 107 years old whose wealth was taken away from them, whose phones were taken away from them. viola fletcher, whos 107 says that she couldnt go to great school. she struggling financially right now. so theres a big question and so far the white house says that he backs the study of reparations but its not being clear about what could happen right now for the people that are suffering. >> and indeed to underscore two things yo...

Tulsans because we know this story, these lives that we continue to remember, the incident we continue to remember, its significant that he has the compassion to come to tulsa and to talk about the massacre that occurred a hundred years ago. it means a tremendous amount to bring this kind of national, international spotlight on tulsa, oklahoma, and particularly, the fact that he got to share time with high-rise randal, at 106, ms. fletcher at 107, and he who served this country, the fact he spen...

Lecturing me about what was going on. but i think what drove them, in talking to them in all sincerity was they wanted to get their story out. sometimes purpose can extend your life. >> thats the secret right there. >> what they saw, this viciousness, this murder, their loved ones being assaulted and killed because of the color of their skin. i think that drove them to keep living until they finally sat there and watched the president of the united states yesterday tell their stories. >> validat...
