Elle Hawley portrays Viola Gregg Liuzzo, housewife and the Civil Rights activist, as part of Yorktown High School’s One Person Shows. Each Theatre IV student chooses a literary, fictional or historical character and then writes, choreographs, directs, and acts in a 30-minute show about that character. Liuzzo was a notable white woman actively involved in the 1960 civil rights movement in Selma. She fought and gave her life for the cause.
