   Thanks for the pointer.  I read the Wikipedia article on her.   
      
   But, that Wikipedia article goes to rather some length to make it clear   
   that she was sort of an "unsung hero" - sort of a less-well-known precursor   
   to Rosa Parks.   
      
   Thus, on that basis, one could argue that she was not "prominent".
