This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 6 February 2020 and 7 May 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Jessbtsai.
The text says, "Born as Jennie Bell ...", which led me to add that name to the lead. As I paid more attention to the text, however, I saw that both of her parents had the last name Ligon. It seems logical, therefore, that her birth name probably was Jennie Bell Ligon. Does anyone else agree with this line of reasoning? Should the text and infobox be changed accordingly?
