Description
Jessica Muhammad (formerly Jessica Allen) was born in Fayette County, Georgia in the 1950s. She attended elementary school in both Fayette County and for a time in the city of Atlanta. After moving to College Park, she attended Eva Thomas High School, College Park High School, and eventually, Henry M. Turner High School (City of Atlanta). Muhammad was a student leader in the sit-ins and protests surrounding Eva Thomas High in 1969 and carried her activism into her adulthood, when she worked on both Lonnie King’s and Andrew Young’s campaigns to win the US congressional seat from Georgia’s Fifth District.
