Early life

Houston Sit-in Historical Marker

Holly Hogrobrooks was born in Houston, the daughter of Theodore Marcus Hogrobrooks and Euneida Mae Goens Hogrobrooks.[1][2] She attended the Mather School in South Carolina.[3] As a student at Texas Southern University, she was a founding member of the Progressive Youth Association, and its successor, the Sit-In Foundation.[4][5]

Career

In 1960, while she was a college student, Hogrobrooks organized the first sit-in protest against racial segregation at a Houston lunch counter,[6][7][8] and worked with Freedom Riders in 1961, to desegregate train stations.[9][10] She was jailed at least twice for her civil rights activism. She was later a journalist at the Houston Informer and the Houston Forward Times, worked in public relations,[11] and taught at her alma mater, Texas Southern University, until she retired in 2000.[4][12]

Personal life

Hogrobrooks married Joseph D. Brown in 1969. They divorced in 1979. She was survived by a daughter when she died in 2016, aged 75 years, in Memphis, Tennessee.[4]
