This book tells of Sarah Keys Evans, an unsung Civil Rights hero.
As a young woman in the Women's Army Corps in 1952, she did what
Rosa Parks did-three years "before" Rosa Parks. Sarah Keys Evans
kept standing up for her rights until victory was won. Her story
shows that an individual can have an impact on history, and that in
troubled times ordinary people can step up and accomplish
remarkable things. Her story also shows that change is a
step-by-step process. Many small contributions along the way help
to bring about big shifts in attitudes and laws.
"Sarah Keys, a courageous Army private, helped set the stage for
the civil rights movement in the 1950s by seeking and getting a
legal ruling outlawing discrimination on seating on buses and
proving that justice can be there for each of us."
Wilma L. Vaught, Brigadier General, USAF (retired); President,
Women In Military Service For America Memorial Foundation, Inc.
"Sarah Keys fought her battle against segregation and
humiliations as a matter of moral decency and learned first hand
about mental and physical fear thus exemplifying extraordinary
courage."
Representative Major R. Owens, U.S. House of Representatives;
from a proclamation issued March 2006 "Perfectly pitched to its
target elementary audience. Nathan strikes just the right balance
of emotion and facts necessary to reach children within the context
of a history lesson. A winner." -Kirkus Discoveries
