Daughter of John H. Avery.

Elizabeth is a distant cousin of mine. Would you mind adding the following to her memorial?

"There is a American Masters program on PBS. It is titled "The Blinding of Isaac Woodard" and explains how an US Marine Corp veteran on his way home from WWII was severely beaten and blinded by local police in South Carolina. It became a court case presided over by Judge J Waites Waring. The Judge's wife, Elizabeth, is briefly mentioned in the program, though her actual role in changing the attitudes and behavior of the Judge was much greater. The Judge went on to have a central role in writing court opinions that " ultimately set the stage for the Supreme Court's landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, which finally outlawed segregation in public schools and jumpstarted the modern civil rights movement."
