Forgotten American Heros…

Viola Liuzzo

Viola Liuzzo was a civil rights activist who was tragically killed during the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965. Her commitment to racial equality and justice led her to join the civil rights movement, where she played a significant role in advocating for change.

Liuzzo's death highlighted the dangers faced by those fighting for civil rights. Her legacy is one of bravery and dedication, inspiring others to continue the fight for equality and justice across the nation.
