Daisy Myers

Daisy Myers 1957

Daisy D. Myers (February 10, 1925 – December 5, 2011) was an African-American woman who lived with her family in Levittown, Pennsylvania, reportedly designed to be an all-white town, beginning in 1957. She faced months of harassment and violence before security forces (the Pa. state police) intervened to protect the family, leading her to be dubbed the "Rosa Parks of the North".[1][2][3]
