Dr. Autherine Juanita Lucy Foster was born October 5,1929, in the town of Shiloh in Marengo County, Alabama where she is unarguably the most famous person to come from that community. Famous, because she dared to act on her belief that all people should be treated the same and afforded every opportunity available to them as a citizen of the United States of America.
