Mary Moore Birchard - Binghamton, NY - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

(visit link)
"The walnut tree that shaded the place where Bill Moore died became a landmark for civil rights pilgrims and for the curious. It stood at the spot where a bullet halted his one-man march against racial segregation. The tree is gone now, cut down to discourage visitors, folks here say. But little else has changed since the white ex-Marine was murdered on that spring evening in 1963... He'd use a vacation from his job as a mailman in Baltimore, he announced to his wife, to conduct a one-man march from Chattanooga, Tenn., through Georgia and Alabama to Jackson, Miss. For armor he wore a large sign urging, "Equal Rights for All.""
