Greetings from Waco, Texas! We are excited you took the time to visit our website. We have been researching the James Byrd, Jr., murder and its impact on Jasper County for the last 16 years. We have learned a lot about Jasper's history and made many friends along the way. This website is an exhibition of our collection of photos, videos and information about the tragedy.
