Abstract: "When Frank Sikora's six-year-old daughter contracted pneumonia in 1962, his wife Millie vowed that would be their last winter in Ohio. Despite misgivings about the racial tensions erupting there, the Sikoras moved their family of six south, where Frank hoped to fulfill his dream of becoming a newspaper reporter. When those dreams didn't materialize immediately, mounting bills, repossession, and eviction forced them to move in with Millie's parents, Dan and Minnie Belle Helms, in rural Wellington, Alabama."
