She's not passed away yet, but famous activist Grace Lee is on her last legs.

Cracking lady, she's 99 and spent seventy five years working in the civil rights movement, including the Black Power movement in the 1960s. She's in 24 hour hospice care at the moment, so any donations for her final few weeks would be appreciated by her family.
