Jo Ann Robinson (no known relation to Bernice) had a job teaching at Alabama State. She was a member of the Women’s Political Council, which was a political activism group for Black women. She was so important and integral to the civil rights movement that Martin Luther King mentioned her by name in his memoir. He said, “Apparently indefatigable, she, perhaps more than any other person, was involved in every level of protest.”[5] Every level of protest. And few people even know her name.
