The only white woman honored at the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, Viola Liuzzo remains an enigma more than thirty years after her murder. This full-length biography follows Liuzzo through her childhood in the South and adult life in Michigan to the 1965 voting rights march in Selma, Alabama, where she died in a Klan ambush. Author Mary Stanton draws on extensive interviews, public records, and FBI case files to unsnarl the truth about Liuzzo from the smears that circulated in the highly politicized aftermath of her death.
