Description
Frank Echols, left, and Sidell Winn, both cousins of two of the three men who drowned at the Juneteenth celebration last year at Comanche Crossing on Lake Mexia, were at this year's event, selling T-shirts commemorating the deaths.

The T-shirt sales were organized by the Comanche Three Committee for Justice which is a statewide organization pressing for a federal investigation of the drownings.
