Curator's Comment
In 2011, friends of Candace Williams launched an annual five-kilometer run in her memory. The course ended at her alma mater, Immaculate High School in Danbury, Connecticut, and raised money for a scholarship at the school, where Williams had participated in cross-country and track and field.
