Tracy Williams Magwood, daughter of Clifford Williams — a wrongfully convicted death row inmate — discusses her mission to preserve her father’s legacy.

We also hear from Williams' pastor, Harry Williams, on Clifford’s life after release from prison.

Williams and his nephew, Herbert Nathan Myers, spent nearly 43 years in prison for a murder they didn't commit. They were cleared in early 2019. Williams died in January.
