Mary Lucille Hamilton (October 13, 1935 – November 11, 2002) was an African-American civil rights activist. Her case before the U.S. Supreme Court, Hamilton v. Alabama, decided that an African-American woman was entitled to the same courteous forms of address customarily reserved solely to whites in the Southern United States,[2] and that calling a black person by his or her first name in a legal proceeding was "a form of racial discrimination".[3]
