REMEMBER MOLLY IVINS (1944-2007)
The ACLU of Oklahoma acknowledges with sadness the passing of legendary
journalist, columnist and long time ACLU supporter Molly Ivins. Molly never
wavered in her commitment to the mission of the ACLU, and worked tirelessly
as a spokesperson to benefit our organization. She appeared at countless
affiliate events, and at one point resolved to do something for the ACLU at
least once a month. She was the keynote speaker for the Oklahoma
affiliate's 1994 Bill of Rights Celebration and sent a video message to the
2003 event.
Molly's legacy of support will continue through her bequest
to the ACLU, a gesture she energetically encouraged others to make as well.
As she put it, "I can't think of anything I'd rather do with my worldly
goods than fund folks who will be a pain in the ass to whatever powers come
to be."
