Before June Carter, Johnny Cash loved Vivian Liberto—a Texas girl who became his wife in 1954. She raised four daughters alone while he chased fame. "I Walk the Line" was written for her—a vow of faithfulness. But pills, distance, and temptation broke them. In the 1960s, her Sicilian features sparked racist attacks—hate mail, threats, protesters. She endured it all while he was gone. After 13 years, she chose peace over waiting. Hollywood later erased her story, casting her as "the jealous wife." But Vivian wasn't a footnote—she was the beginning. She loved him before the world did. Drop a ❤️ if you think her story deserves to be remembered.
