6. ...to blend with the tears that were shed...

7. ...with traces of red mud with each and every step.

8. Our voices too were heard upon The Trail Of Tears...

9. ...our echoes still remain...

10. ...never to be silent, of the tragic, painful price once paid. 

11. To this day we all are present...

13. ...that each of us have witnessed, felt - the pain and the travail.
