Comment on Remembering My Grandmother, Viola Liuzzo by LaTesha Martin
['Christina Prado']
Comments for The Washington Informer
This month marks the 60th anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery, and it also marks the 60th year my family has been without our matriarch, my grandmother, Viola Liuzzo.
Christina Prado is the granddaughter of Viola Liuzzo, who was killed by the Ku Klux Klan on March 25, 1965, as she was driving marchers back to Selma.
The impact of her sacrifice continues to resonate, not only in history books but in our family’s daily lives.
How lucky am I to have a grandmother whose name is recorded in history books?
She was more than just a name in history books; she was a mother of five, an educator, a fighter, and a believer in justice.
