John Horhn, who introduced the measure, posed with the family and others, including Hollis Watkins, a civil rights activist who stayed with the family in 1961 and worked on voting rights.

Mafia hitman Gregory Scarpa Sr. pocketed millions from drug dealing, donned a seven-carat pinky ring and shot to death so many people that he stopped counting at 50.
