Born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1898. After being fired by South Carolina for refusing to renounce NAACP membership, Clark developed the Citizenship School curriculum that became the SCLC's pipeline for voter registration in the 1960s. MLK Jr. called her "the architect of the civil rights movement."
