A civil rights activist and educator, Abby Marlatt lived nearly a century working to improve the lives of all Kentuckians. As a professor at the University of Kentucky, she was the center of controversy in the mid-1960s over anti-war protests and whether the University could censor her in her role as a public intellectual. She was honored for her work by the National Conference for Community and Justice, and she was inducted into the Kentucky Civil Rights Hall of Fame in 2001.
