A Florida man is hitting the road with a traveling memorial recognizing victims of hate crimes.
A lesser-known woman supporting the memorial is Elke Kennedy, whose son Sean, 20, (pictured) in May 2007 took a fatal punch to the face in Greenville, S.C.
”I get up each day knowing that this is what I need to do for the rest of my life,” said Kennedy, 46, of South Carolina, now an activist lobbying for a national hate-crimes law.
”I did not want any mother to have to go through this again,” she said.
