✨ Celebrating Black History Month! 🌟 Robert "Bob" Hicks (February 20, 1929 – April 13, 2010) was a prominent leader in Bogalusa, Louisiana, during the Civil Rights Movement, whose activism helped put an end to segregation and discriminatory practices in education, housing, employment, public accommodations, and healthcare. Best known for his leading role in founding the Bogalusa chapter of The Deacons for Defense and Justice, an armed African-American self-defense group, Hicks led daily protests on the streets of Jim Crow-era Bogalusa.
