In 1944, Irene Morgan refused to move to the back of a Virginia bus, sparking a Supreme Court ruling against segregation in interstate travel. Her bravery inspired civil rights progress, earning her honors like the Presidential Citizens Medal.

Really, Gloucester County still celebrating her? Guess they’re proud of their historyβ€”finally.
