There was a bit of news coverage today about the 2018 Parkland shootings in Florida. Of course the weapon is still being blamed. This thread isn't about that, it is about the lady the school was named after....Marjory Stoneman-Douglas. Without using a search engine, does anyone on here know who this lady actually was, and why she is memorable?

Was she a black woman who refused to ride in the back of a bus? Don't seem right but all my brain will come up with right now.....LOL That lady's name was Rosa Parks. Not married to Frederick either. Wanna Be......to say the least.

I know she was big on saving the Everglades, and a couple other issues.
Is that what you're looking for?

Is that what you're looking for? That be the lady. The old girl lived to be 108 years old too.
