2012- Mrs. Nickerson represents- Laura Pollan

Laura Pollan was a high school teacher who captured international attention by leading the wives, sisters and mothers of Cuban political prisoners in weekly protest marches through the streets of Havana. She died on Oct. 14, 2011. Every Sunday, the women gathered at the church of Saint Rita, a patron of lost causes. Dressed in white, each with a flower in hand, they would begin their march down the street.
