Most people have heard about Rosa Parks's brave actions that led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955.

But there were other Black women who challenged segregation in transportation. Three years earlier, Sarah Keys Evans--a veteran--refused to give up her seat on a bus traveling through the South. With key biographical information and related historical events, this Capstone Captivate book will uncover Evans's story and show how it connects to Parks's story.
