2. Eleanor was a very public figure and regularly received death threats for her civil rights stance.
She was an extremely gutsy woman, who refused Secret Service protection and began to carry a gun only after federal agents strongly suggested it. In 1958, the KKK announced a $25,000 bounty on her. There were plenty of armed white racists who wanted her dead and made sure she knew it
