Viola Fauver Gregg Liuzzo (April 11, 1925 – March 25, 1965) was a Unitarian Universalist civil rights activist from Michigan. In March 1965 Liuzzo, then a housewife and mother of 5 with a history of local activism, heeded the call of Martin Luther King Jr and traveled from Detroit, Michigan to Selma, Alabama in the wake of the Bloody Sunday attempt at marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Viola is depicted with her shoes off because she was often without shoes at home.
"She always was barefoot. ... Very early in the march, she had those shoes in her hand," said her daughter at the dedication.
Viola was very petite and the statue is her actual height. A Klan hood lies on the ground behind her.
Mrs. Liuzzo participated in the successful Selma to Montgomery marches and helped with coordination and logistics. Driving back from a trip shuttling fellow activists to the Montgomery airport, she was shot and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan. She was 39 years old.
