Absolute Grounding

The research vault

Hall plates and Drive dossiers. A page for my mother stays off the public record of service.

Source note: hall plates and timeline graphics were assembled in this research vault from the owner's Drive dossiers (folder 03 Lineage & Genealogy, and the 10 Oct 2026 heighley.grok.me build brief). Civil-rights pleadings stay in Drive and are not restated here.
