Hundreds of Black residents from across the county gathered at the Catawba brickyards to honor Alphons, Leroy Russ, and Boer Monroe Stowe. The men, hailed as giants in size and courage, saved workers during a dangerous flood while helping build a steel bridge.

Both were married with families, and returned home after risking their lives to aid others amid powerful river currents.
