The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

I am Karen Hiller, the City Councilwoman who represents the district in Topeka that includes both Monroe and Sumner Elementary schools as well as the Chair of the small group Brown v. Board Sumner Legacy Trust which is working to save and revitalize Sumner and to activate and advance the legacy of Brown. I have known and deeply respected Linda, her mother Leola and sister Cheryl for many, many years. What I'd like to do is share some parting words with Linda.... Thank you, Linda. You were a child when this all started. Gracefully, but not with any personal eagerness, you took the role of icon....from that day and for the rest of your life. I join with legions to pledge that we will work until our dying days to strive to finish what your action, and those of the other parents, students, teachers and advocates, started. Thank you, thank you. What you did changed the world.
