Former 1st UU Detroit member Viola Liuzzo was a civil rights activist who lost her life to an attack by the K*K after participating in Rev. Dr. King's Selma march. Viola's family was targeted in the wake of her death and it has led to hardships in the life of her children. Viola's son Anthony needs help with emergency roof repairs. He called Rev.
