The final ceremony of the suitcase project was emotional but in a very beautiful way. In the ceremony, we presented our documentary and this very website! At the end of the activity, the family members listed many memories about Leonard or one of his siblings. Mr. Leonard Daniel Kelley and his suitcase brought us all together.
On May 20, 2024 we held a ceremony through which we shared all that we had learned about Mr. Leonard Daniel Kelley's with his family. Family members from Texas, North Carolina, and Virginia joined us. With the research of Ms. Rockenbach's past and present students completed it became time for us to return Mr. Kelley's suitcase to his family.
