Requests:  0 Summary:  "Amy Hill Hearth uncovers the story of a little-known figure in U.S. history in this fascinating biography. In 1854, a young African American woman named Elizabeth Jennings won a major victory against a New York City streetcar company, a first step in the process of desegregating public transportation in Manhattan. This illuminating and important piece of the history of the fight for equal rights, illustrated with photographs and archival material from the period, will engage fans of Phillip Hoose's Claudette Colvin and Steve Sheinkin's Most Dangerous. One hundred years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, Elizabeth Jennings's refusal to leave a segregated streetcar in the Five Points neighborhood of Manhattan set into motion a major court case in New York City."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Graham He Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Graham He Checked out 04/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Graham He Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Graham He Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Graham He Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Graham He Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Graham He Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
