Viola Liuzzo participated in demonstrations through the streets of
Detroit and on the campus of Wayne State University in a show of support
for the rights of those who had been attacked. However, as a woman who
possessed strong convictions and a demonstrated willingness to take
action for causes she believed in, Liuzzo was convinced that she had to
actually join the fight in Selma. Thus, Liuzzo headed south on a journey
that would ultimately end in tragedy and controversy.
