Manhattan goes in big for these commemorative street signs...Kudirat Abiola was a Nigerian Muslim woman, born in 1951, who with her husband was very active in that country's pro-democracy movement.
Her story is one of intense involvement and struggle..
A biography of her on the internet concludes:
"On June 4th 1996, a few days to the anniversary of the June 12 commemorative date when Nigerians resolved to vote out the military dictatorship, Kudirat’s life on earth ended, extinguished by assassins’ bullets. Her spirit lives on in the name and work of KIND."
