The narrative centers on Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jennings, who, a century before Rosa Parks, faced racial discrimination while attempting to board a New York City streetcar. Despite being assaulted and denied entry, she courageously took her case to court, with future president Chester Arthur as her lawyer. Lizzie's landmark victory not only marked a significant achievement in her personal fight for justice but also established a crucial precedent in the ongoing struggle for equal rights in public transportation.
