With a glance down, he noticed the small rusted plaque, partially hidden in a patch of untamed grass, that rested above his feet. A simple plaque that had two words engraved: Tom Robinson. Sam mustered a small smile, shoved his hands in his pockets and gathered the courage to speak, looking directly at the plaque, “It’s been a long while, huh?”…
