You did and do matter. Rest in peace, my sister and sister-child. Your tears were just a temporary relief of the pain, sorrow, and grief brought to you by those who were much less.

It's sort of appropriate that no particular person was brought to justice for their deaths. It would seem that America is quite responsible for setting the environment that made Mary Turner's violent end possible. The phrase, "kill ya dead", came to mind while reading the account. It sank deep into my soul.......and it's just sitting here.

Say their names!
