Marian's fight for equality began early, as a University of Cincinnati student campaigning for an inclusive prom. And it remained personal—she chaired legal action to desegregate Coney Island Amusement Park after her two young sons were denied admittance. Above all, Marian Spencer’s lifelong dedication to civil rights and racial justice have served to inspire the fearlessness in us all.
