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. 600 10 Graham, Elizabeth Jennings,|d1827-1901|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American women|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African Americans|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Civil rights workers|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African Americans|xCivil rights|zNew York (State)|zNew York|xHistory|y19th century|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Segregation in transportation|zNew York (State)|zNew York |xHistory|y19th century|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American teachers|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Illustrated children's books. 651 0 New York (State)|xRace relations|vJuvenile literature. 651 0 New York (State)|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Lewis, E.
