#WomensHistoryMonth THREAD 🧵Mother, nurse, civil rights activist and martyr Viola Liuzzo was the only white woman murdered during the Civil Rights Movement. Her assassination happened during the final legs of the famous Selma, AL marches.
Don't know about Viola Liuzzo?
Glad you asked.
"I grew up across the street from a public library, and it was the only place my mom would let me go on my own. It was my second home, and I read everything that I could get."

Remembering Billie Holiday, born OTD 1915 in Philadelphia.
'There ain't nothing I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticise me
But I'm going to do
Just as I want to anyway
And don't care if they all despise me'
(Ain't Nobody's Business, 1949)
