Recy Taylor

Recy Elisabeth Taylor (December 31, 1919 – December 28, 2017) was an African-American kidnapping and rape victim and activist. 
Incident.
On September 3, 1944, she was kidnapped while leaving church and gang-raped by six white men. Even though the men admitted the rape to authorities, two grand juries subsequently declined to indict the men, meaning no charges were ever brought against her six assailants.
In 2011, the Alabama House of Representatives apologized on behalf of the state "for its failure to prosecute her attackers."
Death.
Taylor died of congestive heart failure in her sleep at a nursing home in Abbeville, Alabama on December 28, 2017, just three days before her 98th birthday.
