Juliette Hampton Morgan (February 21, 1914 – July 16, 1957) was a librarian and civil rights activist in Montgomery, Alabama.
The only daughter from a well-to-do white family, Morgan was an early member of the community that pushed for integration.
As a librarian she often spoke out against the acts of injustice she witnessed against African-Americans by writing letters to the Montgomery Advertiser, the local newspaper.
She was castigated by the community for her racial views and was targeted by segregationists who broke her windows and burned a cross in her front yard.
Unable to bear the strain caused by the unrelenting retaliation caused by her views, she took her own life.
