Juliette Hampton Morgan

Montgomery native Juliette Hampton Morgan (1914-1957) was a librarian and civil rights advocate known for her letters to the Montgomery Advertiser attacking the city's segregationist policies. Her public stance on civil rights attracted the scorn and abuse of white racists, leading to her apparent suicide.
