Facing Racism

So many helped with fund-raisers and sales to help the Turner household. These are the ones you don't see on the news. The radicals are who we see and hear all the time.

Making a Difference

Turner saw for himself that he had made a difference. He was glad to come back after he retired as a policeman as the city judge to try and help all.
