Marie A. Hicks (December 20, 1923 – April 19, 2007) was an African-American activist during the American civil rights movement.
Nicknamed "the Rosa Parks of Girard College," Hicks is best known for leading thousands of pickets around the wall of that academic institution during the mid-1960s. Her efforts led to her sons being enrolled in the formerly all-white school in 1968.[1]
