“Upfront, pleasant and…absolutely fearless” was how John Lewis described Selma-native Annie Lee Cooper. By the fall of 1963, the voting drive in Selma had “mushroomed into the testing ground for SNCC’s ‘One man – One vote’ campaign,” and Ms. Cooper was on the front lines of that fight, opening both her heart and home to SNCC and, later, SCLC.
