Near the state capitol in Montgomery is the Civil Rights Memorial. "Until Justice Rolls Down Like Waters And Righteousness Like A Mighty Stream," reads the quote on the wall. |
At the Memorial fountain, water flows over a circular table containing the names of those who lost their lives in the Civil Rights Movement. |
This memorial in the form of a
gravestone marks the spot on U.S. 80 where Viola Liuzzo was shot to
death.
A Detroit housewife, Mrs. Liuzzo came down to Selma to volunteer to help with the voting rights march. |
The evening of the day the march reached Montgomery, Viola Liuzzo was giving a number of the marchers an automobile ride back to Selma. She was shot through the window of her car. |
