Though there were plenty of empty seats, she was denied entry, assaulted, and threatened all because of her race -- even though New York was a free state at that time. Lizzie decided to fight back. She told her story, took her case to court -- where future president Chester Arthur represented her -- and won! Her victory was the first recorded in the fight for equal rights on public transportation, and Lizzie's case set a precedent. african american author's note beauty clothing conflict conflict resolution courage decision making history law nonverbal communication persistence politics spiritual transportation verbal communication writing
