"Sarah's Long Walk: The Free Blacks of Boston and How Their Struggle for Equality Changed America" by Paul Kendrick, Stephen Kendrick

In the fall of 1848, a five-year-old African American girl named Sarah Roberts walked past five white schools to attend the poor and densely crowded all-black Abiel Smith School on Boston’s Beacon Hill. Her father, Benjamin Roberts, decided to sue the city to end this injustice. The historic court case that followed set the stage for over a century of struggle, culminating in 1954 with the unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

The authors handle the weighty issue of desegregation with skill; this is a book for historians and humanitarians.
