In September 1968, 21-year-old Carol Jenkins was walking door to door in Martinsville, Indiana, selling encyclopedias. On one of her last stops, Carol told the woman who answered the door that two white men had been following and harassing her. As a Black woman, Carol was frightened. Thirty minutes later, Carol was found murdered.
