## Resource

Guitar legend Tom Morello mourns the passing of his mother, Mary Morello, at 102 — a lifelong civil rights warrior who fought against Jim Crow, apartheid, and war while championing racial justice and dignity. Tom shared heartfelt tributes and photos, including one of them holding hands, as the music world rallied around him — Serj Tankian, Metallica, and Nikki Sixx all honored her as a fearless activist. Her illness had even forced Tom to cancel tour dates, underscoring their deep bond. A century of activism, education, and unwavering courage — her legacy echoes far beyond her final breath.
