Mulholland participated in more than three dozen sit-ins and protests, and was put on death row in Mississippi’s Parchman Penitentiary with other Freedom Riders. She was involved in one of the most famous and violent sit-ins at the Jackson Woolworth lunch counter in 1963 and, that same year, helped plan and organize the march on Washington, DC.

For her actions she was disowned by her family, attacked, shot at, cursed at, and hunted down by the Ku Klux Klan for execution. She was branded as mentally ill, and was taken in for testing after her first arrest.
