Annie Lee Cooper • Here’s a powerful story from the civil rights era: Annie Lee Cooper played a pivotal role in the 1965 Selma Voting Rights Movement, but her story gained wider attention when Oprah portrayed her in the 2014 film *Selma*. Cooper’s boldest act was punching Alabama Sheriff Jim Clark in the face during a protest, but her real legacy is her fight to restore voting rights. Cooper’s determination was central to the movement that led to the Voting Rights Act. • *Did you know this? Let us know in the comments.
