of 2010, and many in the community attended the dedication. In 2014, new owners of the funeral home demolished it and converted the lot into a parking area. The historical marker was damaged in the process; after it was hit by a car soon after, it was removed. The new owners of the property asked that the marker not be returned after it was repaired, so it was rededicated and installed in the town square at the entrance to city hall. The events of 1944 and the placement of the historical marker were covered in a documentary film: the film, The Longoria Affair, and its subjects are still controversial in Three Rivers. The exact words Mr. Kennedy reportedly used and his reasons for denying the use of the funeral home are disputed by some locals in Three Rivers, and the family and friends of Mr. Kennedy.
