When Elizabeth “Lizzie” Jennings boards a New York City streetcar in a hurry to
get to church, she spies plenty of empty seats. But the conductor blocks her way.
Despite being born a “free black” in a “free state,” Lizzie will have to wait for a
different car. A car for her people. Suddenly, late-for-church isn’t as important as
late-for-equality. Lizzie Jennings fights back and takes her story to churches, to
newspapers, and finally to the one place where justice for one can mean justice
for all.
Author Beth Anderson brilliantly captures Elizabeth Jennings’s courage and
perseverance in winning the first recorded legal victory for equal rights on public
transportation—a victory that paved the way for Rosa Parks and many others to
take a stand and demand a seat.
