- 🧵 (1/4) On Transit Equity Day I want to make sure we're telling a fuller story of the fight for justice and better transit. 100 years before Rosa Parks, there was Elizabeth Jennings Graham and months before Rosa, there was Claudette Colvin.
- (2/4) Elizabeth Jennings Graham • 100 Years before Rosa Parks in July 1854 refused get off a streetcar for White patrons • She took her case to court claiming she had the same rights as White people and ultimately won • Her victory eventually led to the desegregation of all NYC Transit in 1873
