Some paid the ultimate price to enact voting rights. Their survivors see America turning backward

A group of people, although relatively small and scattered across different states, share a common bond that spans decades. They have a shared experience that has led to empty seats at holiday gatherings and major life events. Certain dates on the calendar hold significant meaning for them, often involving visits to cemeteries where they stand before granite stones.

Further details about this group and their story are available from KPRC 2 in Pearland, TX, for those seeking more information.
