Johnnie Mae Chappell, featured on the Cloud of Witnesses mural, was randomly targeted and murdered in 1964 simply because of the color of her skin. The memory of Mrs. Chappell serves as a powerful reminder of the hatred and brutal violence that robbed so many individuals of their lives solely because of their race.
