In 2005, when the Remember My Name series was being produced, Host Beryl Dakers noted that nearly one third of all women in America report being raped or physically abused by their husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. Not everyone lives to tell their stories, and in this segment, we learn about three women who had been killed.
In this ETV Classic, we learn about Rhonda Fleming, Davetta Roseboro, and Marva Grayson, through the stories shared by their families. The impact of domestic abuse left its mark on every family member, particularly the children, some of whom witnessed the abuse and deaths of their mothers. The sobering reality of these lost lives reminds us that more needs to be done to break the cycle.
