Viola Liuzzo was a civil rights activist and NAACP member from Detroit, Michigan. Horrified by the police attacks on the Selma marchers, Liuzzo traveled to Alabama to join the second march. After the march, driving a black protester to his car, she was forced off the road and shot in the head by Klansmen. In court three men were eventually found guilty on federal charges of violating her civil rights. Viola Liuzzo was the only white woman killed during the Civil Rights Movement.
