Summary
Norvel Lee, an unsung historical figure, rightfully should be included on a list of famous African Americans. On a September morning in 1948 - while a member of the US Olympic team, a Howard University student, and a veteran of World War 2 - Norvel Lee was arrested for taking a seat in the white section of a segregated train in rural Virginia. Thorough research of the facts about Jim Crow laws shows that Norvel Lee's appeal of the case resulted in a landmark civil rights decision.
