[FONT=&]Taylor was 24 when she was abducted and raped as she walked home from church in Abbeville. Her attackers left her on the side of the road in an isolated area. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) assigned Rosa Parks to investigate the case, and she rallied support for justice for Taylor.

[FONT=&]Two all-white, all-male grand juries declined to indict the six white men who admitted to authorities that they assaulted her.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]In a 2010 interview, Taylor said she believed the men who attacked her were dead, but she still would like an apology from officials.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]It would mean a whole lot to me, Taylor said. The people who done this to me they cant do no apologizing. Most of them is gone.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The Alabama legislature passed a resolution apologizing to her in 2011.
