what a brave woman, the sheer courage to stand up for what is right, she was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really is the face of bravery, isn't it? No weapons, no posturing -- just a citizen insisting that everyone has the same right to make use of a public service after a hard day's work.
This is my favorite picture of her-- her gaze is so direct, and she holds the booking number up like a badge.
