Sarah Keys Evans

The Power of Quiet Courage

Illustrator: Powell, Jermaine

Beschreibung

Sarah Keys Evans wasn’t a person anyone thought would spend a night in a jail cell—or change the world. But trouble came Sarah’s way in 1952, at a North Carolina bus station. There, dressed in her Women’s Army Corps uniform, she was arrested for not moving to the back of a bus—three years before it happened to another Black woman, Rosa Parks. Sarah Keys Evans: The Power of Quiet Courage tells how Sarah stood up for what’s right and helped end that kind of unfairness. Others have now honored her by creating a monument that calls her a “Trailblazer for Justice.”

Autor

Amy Nathan, a graduate of Harvard who grew up in Baltimore, is an award-winning author of more than a dozen nonfiction books for young people and adults, including two on U. S. women in the military. She first interviewed Sarah Keys Evans in 2004 after seeing a plaque about her at the Military Women’s Memorial. That led to many more conversations over nineteen years of friendship and collaboration as they worked together to create this book for children, and another book for adults. Sarah Keys Evans knew these books were on their way before her death in 2023. For more on Amy Nathan visit www.AmyNathanBooks.com.
