This wonderful woman led the charge to rip down Confederate monuments.



Texarkana Woman Arrested for Allegedly Impersonating Toys for Tots Ambassador

quote:

TEXARKANA, Texas–A Texarkana woman was taken into custody Monday on a charge of trademark counterfeiting for allegedly holding herself out as an ambassador for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.
Bessie “Bess” Gamble Williams, 67, was the subject of complaints to the BCSO alleging that Williams was fraudulently claiming to be associated with Toy for Tots and had distributed “propaganda materials” that included the charitable program’s trademark and copyrighted logo, according to a statement released in October last year by the Bowie County Sheriff’s Office.
