Unsung Heroes of the Movement: Rev. C.T. Vivian 🕊️✊🏽

While his name may not be as widely known, Rev. C.T. Vivian was a pillar of the Civil Rights Movement. A close advisor to Dr. King and a fierce advocate for nonviolent resistance, Vivian faced violence, jail, and injustice head-on—from leading Freedom Rides to confronting Jim Crow in Selma.

He helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, the National Anti-Klan Network, and the Center for Democratic Renewal—leaving a legacy rooted in courage, faith, and action.

His story reminds us: real change is built by those who show up, even when the spotlight isn’t shining.

🎥 Watch the clip and help us uplift the #UnsungHeroes who shaped history.
