"This picture book biography in verse tells the story of Mary Hamilton, an African American woman and Civil Rights activist, who was found to be in contempt of court when she would not respond to questions from an Alabama judge who used only her first name, while calling white people 'Mr.,' 'Mrs.,' or 'Miss.' The NAACP took her case, which appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court, which ruled in Mary Hamilton's favor." -- Provided by publisher.
