When Kenyaspeaks.com escorted Columbia Councilwoman Almeta Crayton to Springfield, MO to receive the photographs, we walked around looking for the plaque. We asked several people from security guards at the MO Div. of Family Services to
people hanging out in the square and no one knew where it was located. Rosemary Stewart-Stafford took us to a concrete book which illustrates the history of Springfield. On the side, about the size of a letter envelope, was the plaque, barely visible.
