Juliette Hampton Morgan
Juliette Hampton Morgan (February 21, 1914 – July 16, 1957) was a librarian and civil rights activist in Montgomery, Alabama. The only daughter from a well-to-do white family, Morgan was an early member of the community that pushed for integration. As a librarian she often spoke out against the acts of injustice she witnessed against African-Americans by writing letters to the ''Montgomery Advertiser'', the local newspaper. She was castigated by the community for her racial views and was targeted by segregationists who broke her windows and burned a cross in her front yard. Unable to bear the strain caused by the unrelenting retaliation caused by her views, she took her own life.
==Early life and education==
Juliette Morgan was an only child, born to Frank P. and Lila Bess Olin Morgan of Montgomery, Alabama.〔Thomas, M. (1995). Stepping Out of the Shadows : Alabama Women, 1819-1990. Tuscaloosa, Ala: University of Alabama Press〕 Her family was very prominent in the community and were seventh-generation Southerners. Among the friends of the Morgan’s were Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Tallulah Bankhead. Morgan attended Sidney Lanier High School, a prestigious school in Montgomery. In 1934 Morgan graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa with a degree in both English literature and political science. She went on to get her master's degree in English the next year.〔Juliette Hampton Morgan. The Encyclopedia of Alabama, retrieved from http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/face/Article.jsp?id=h-1581〕
After graduation, Morgan returned to Montgomery to become a public school teacher at her former high school. In 1942 she became a reference librarian in Montgomery's Carnegie Library where she was eventually promoted to the director of research at the Montgomery Public Library.〔Juliette Hampton Morgan, retrieved from http://www.tolerance.org/lesson/juliette-hampton-morgan-white-woman-who-understood〕
