Theresa Byrd of Liberty, 70, leads the group Clay Countians for Inclusion. The group is willing to pitch in $10,000 to help with costs to rid Fairview& New Hope cemeteries of a Confederate monument that has stood since 1904. Opponents argued that because the monument is not a grave marker with names, it can be removed.
Although she is 70 years old, Theresa Byrd can still feel the sting of growing up Black in Liberty, Missouri — forced in the era of legal segregation to walk away from the white elementary school just blocks from her home to the Black Garrison School nearly a mile away.
