Diane Nash is an icon of the civil rights movement. She was born in 1938, when segregation was thriving in America. She was told that this was normal, that these were the rules and she should follow them. But she didnt listen. In the beginning she was scared, to get arrested, to get hurt, even to get killed. But she persisted. She protested for years for desegregation in resturaunts, busses, and other public accomadations. Throughout her life shes been arrested dozens of times, even when she was 6 months pregnant. But this didnt deter her from justice. She continued to protest, despite being broken down many, many times. And her work payed off, thanks to her leadership, things began to change. The south began to desegregate. Resturaunts, busses and other public accomadations became integrated. She was also a big part in the right-to-vote movemnet, which eventually gave African-Americans the right to vote. Diane Nash risked her life for this movement. She was brave. She was bold. She was daring.
I hope this helps!
