Jean Corder Wells (Eddins)

Jean Eddins grew up one street over from a Klansman who wore his robe in the front yard and carried the hood in his hands. She joined the movement with her mother and her sister and their grandmother. She marched on Bloody Tuesday, had acid thrown in her face, was jailed and still, through all this, held firm to the dream of nonviolent change in America.
