    Mary Stanton mailto:[email protected] Address: Judson College, Marion, Alabama, The Alabama Women’s Hall of Fame Induction of Juliette Hampton Morgan, March 3, 2005 Thank you, Trustees of the Alabama Women’s Hall of Fame, staff, and students of Judson College, and all the planners and supporters of this wonderful event, for the honor that you are bestowing on Juliette Hampton Morgan, of Montgomery today. I’m going to tell you a little about what she did, and the times she lived through, and then you’ll have the pleasure of hearing about her from her first cousin, Colonel Henry G. Morgan, on behalf of the wonderful Morgan family. * * “It is hard to imagine a soul so dead, a heart so hard, a vision so blinded and provincial as not to be moved with admiration at the quiet dignity, discipline, and dedication with which the Negroes have conducted their boycott.” Juliette Morgan wrote that to the Montgomery Advertiser on December 12, 1955. Her letter affected Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. so deeply that in Stride Toward Freedom, his 1958 memoir, he wrote that “about a week after the protest started a white woman who understood and sympathized with the Negroes’ efforts wrote a letter to the editor comparing the bus protest with the Gandhian movement in India. Miss Juliette Morgan, sensitive and frail, did not long survive the rejection and condemnation of the white community, but long before she died in the summer of 1957 the name of Mahatma Gandhi was well- known in Montgomery.” Dr. King wanted future generations to remember the name of that white woman who first compared the Boycott with Gandhi’s March To The Sea which resulted in India’s freedom from the British Empire.
