Strolling through the woods one day with my husband we stumbled across a head stone for the late Mrs. Bessie Vanburen, age 19, beloved wife and mother, died July 11th 1835. Our minds started to wonder back to a time long passed and the days before Mrs. Bessie was placed here.

Bessie was a beloved mother who did everything for everyone else before seeing about herself. She had 3 ?boys and 1 girl. Jackson & Justin were the oldest boys who were identical twins. Jonathan was the middle son who had autism where he needed proper care for his health. Jennifer was the only girl & the baby who was always whining about having to do stuff with her brothers all the time. Bessie was a very caring young woman who didn?t work but did housewife chores all day every day. ?The more dirt around the house the more she felt the need to clean up. At the age of 16 Bessie found love while playing in the field yard with some friends. Mr. John Vanburen took her hand in marriage and started a family with her.

She had lost both of her parents in war ?and grew up raising herself after her grandparent?s? passed. Everything that the family had for dinner was

So, is the current criminal justice system working to prevent cases of unequal treatment under the law?

“They carry different diseases than we do (The Help, 2011)” said Hilly Holbrook as she struggled to hide the fact she was dying to use the bathroom during a card game at Elizabeth Leefolt’s home. She figures that since Mrs. Leefolt does not have an outside bathroom for the colored help that Aibileen uses the guess bathroom as well and she refuses to use it. She later talked the Leefolt’s into building Aibileen her own bathroom outside the house… Racism in Jackson was at its prime in the 1960’s during the Civil Rights Movement. All negro women and some men work for white families and are treated like slaves. All over town signs say ‘COLORED’ or ‘WHITES ONLY.’ You did not talk to the colored help unless you were the one they are working for.

Mrs. Bessie Vanburen was married by time she reached the aged of thirteen. She wed a man of the name Rudolph Vanburen. Bessie Rudolph had their own little business of being animal groomers. No animal was too big or too small for the Vanburens to groom. Bessie had a special type of love for horses, especially a black mustang.
