When she boarded a bus home to North Carolina in 1952, she never expected to be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to move to the rear so a white Marine could take her seat. Her landmark 1955 Civil Rights victory, \"Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company\" not only desegregated interstate bus travel, it also provided the legal precedent needed during the 1961 Freedom Rides to pressure the Interstate Commerce Commission to properly enforce its Sarah Keys ruling. Often overlooked in many accounts of the Civil Rights era, her arrest and victory are crucial milestones in the fight against segregation. \u003ci\u003eRiding into History\u003c\/i\u003e draws on years of personal conversations with Sarah Keys Evans as well as extensive research to present a biography of this hero and her role in the struggle for civil rights alongside the long history of many other Black Americans, especially women, who protested racial segregation in interstate travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmy Nathan is the author of more than fifteen books, including \u003ci\u003eTogether: An Inspiring Response to the \"Separate-but-Equal\" Supreme Court Decision that Divided America\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMaking Time for Making Music\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Round and Round Together\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Ride to Remember: A Civil Rights Story\u003c\/i\u003e.
