McDonough, Yona Zeldis (Author). Eldridge, Jim, 1944- (illustrator.).

Summary: "Almost 100 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat, Sojourner Truth was mistreated by a streetcar conductor. She took him to court--and won! Before she was Sojourner Truth, she was known simply as Belle. Born a slave in New York sometime around 1797, she was later sold and separated from her family.

In this easy-to-read biography, Yona Zeldis McDonough continues to share that remarkable story"--
