Virginia Foster Durr was a civil rights activist from Alabama who worked to challenge segregation and injustice long before it was widely accepted. She fought to abolish the poll tax, supported the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and helped Rosa Parks attend the Highlander Folk School. After Parks’ arrest, she and her husband helped secure her release and continued supporting the movement. Her story reminds us that history is shaped by those who choose to stand for what is right.
