For over a century, black riders were disrespected and treated unfairly on public transportation. This book tells the story of their fight for equality. From the horse-drawn trolleys of the late 1800s to the buses and trains of the 20th century, men and women, young and old, refused to accept second-class status.

They sat where they weren't supposed to, refused to move, boycotted, got arrested, got beat up, fought back, went to court, and filled up whole jails. And in the end, they won.
