For this discussion board, you need to visit the site below and explore some of the stories of women civil rights leaders in modern US history. After reading a few of the biographies, please select one female civil rights activist and write a brief description of the person, her actions, and her legacy in the civil rights conversation in America. The woman you choose must have been actively involved in the civil rights movement from the 1950s-1980s (rather than 19th century individuals like Harriett Tubman or Susan B. Anthony) and should be a lesser known figure in the movement (rather than individuals like Rosa Parks or Angela Davis).
