(1) 4-6 In 1955 Montgomery, Alabama, fifteen-year-old Colvin refused to give up her seat on the bus. Hoose fashions a compelling narrative that balances the momentous events of the civil rights movement with the personal crises of a courageous young woman. This vivid and dramatic account, complemented with photographs, sidebars, and liberal excerpts from interviews with Colvin, reasserts her place in history. Bib., ind.
