The Takeaway: Federal Initiative Fails to Warm Cold Cases

by Benjamin T. Greenberg on August 24, 2010

I appeared on The Takeaway this morning with New York Times reporter Shaila Dewan and Catherine Walker, whose father Clifton was murdered by Klansmen on February 28, 1964. Today's segment was a follow up to Dewan's article in yesterday's Times.

Catherine Walker stands at her father's grave in Wilkinson County, MS.

  I am Brenden reuben Walters. I am the grandson of Clifton Walker sr. My mother is Brenda (walker) Walters, one of the five children of Clifton and Ruby Walker. I was shocked when I first heard the story of how my grandfather Clifton Walker sr was killled. I was also shocked to learn that he had served in the ARM forces. I am currently serving in the US. Army. I know one day the case of my grandfather will be solved. So he could rest in peace and my family could move on knowing the truth of the ones responseable.
