One person that i found who has an untold story of her civil rights part was Viola Liuzzo.  She was a white woman who marched with Martin Luther King and thousands of black citizens.  She had five kids at home but wanted to make a difference in the rights of African American citizens.  In 1965 during the night of one of their marches, she was killed.  The KKK brutally murdered her by shooting her in the head.  The members of the KKK were convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.  People will not see her name in history books but she definitely had an impact.  Anyone who was willing to give their life for the cause deserves to be recognized.
