Olin Lamar Weaver (11 January 1928- 6 December 2013) was a political and civil rights activist in the 1950s and 1960s in Birmingham, Alabama.
The August 1957 cover of Ebony Magazine referred to Weaver as "The White Man Who Can't Go Home".
[5] On March 6, 1957, Weaver accompanied the Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth, a black minister and founder of the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, and Mrs. Shuttlesworth, as they sat in the "White Interstate Waiting Room" of Birmingham's Terminal Railway Station, protected by police, as a peaceful protest of the segregationist laws.
[7][8] Weaver escaped, but he was fined twenty-five dollars for "reckless" driving"[9] and told by City Judge Ralph Parker to "get out of town".
[5] This incident made the front page of the Birmingham Post-Herald and was picked up by news-wire services, and caught the attention of Eleanor Roosevelt, who mentioned it in her My Day Column, on March 11, 1957.
