Here's the NY Transit Museum honoring her.
Elizabeth Jennings Graham
100 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, a 24-year-old black New Yorker stood her ground on an omnibus. With courage and perseverance, she won the first recorded legal victory for equal rights on public transportation. Hear her story.

Weren't the Confederate monuments built in their honor?Where are the museums? Are the monuments destroyed? Kept in storage because there are no museums?
Is it cheaper to build a large museum with all of these monuments or just surround the old monuments with monuments to Civil Rights leaders? Women's Suffrage? Where are the statues to Alice Paul? Frederick Douglas? Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. William H. Barnes?

Among the first to enter the enemy's works, although wounded.www.battlefields.org

Yes, as I pointed out, Ms. Graham only recently has gotten recognition, and that's local to NYC for the most part. Parks has numerous statues and other museum displays that include her, and the Left cites her as a civil rights icon. She did virtually nothing to further civil rights other than a minor act of civil disobedience, something the Left gobbles up.Here's the NY Transit Museum honoring her.

You made the claim that the Left hates her.Yes, based on observation. Look at Dutch Dork's post above. The usual popular litany for the Left on this. For example, there is only one statue of Elizabeth Jennings Graham, but there are many of Rosa Parks, and Graham's statue in NYC was only recently put on display.

Your claim that the Left hates her is false.

Elizabeth Jennings Graham: Schoolteacher on a Streetcar | About the Hero
19th century teacher and civil rights figure, Graham insisted on her right to ride on an available streetcar at a time when such companies were private and most operated segregated cars.

Yes, the Confederate monuments were built in the honor of the person in the statue or to the veterans of the war.

In honor to the traitors? Wouldn't it send the wrong message?
Dutch Uncle
* Tertia Optio * Defend the Constitution
How could they be traitors if they were defending their country meaning their state? The whole "the United States are" in 1860 versus "the United States is" in 1870 thing.
Just so we're clear, I'm not advocating building new Confederate memorials. I'm only against tearing down history.
Again, the choice is "do we seek division" or "do we seek unity"?

More like ignores. She doesn't fit their dogma. It'd be like some successful White guy getting say, universities desegregated today. The Left would ignore that guy because he isn't one of them regardless that what he did was something they'd--at least in theory--champion.

My fellow teachers have known me for many many years...my last twenty were at the same school....
They know exactly who I am... Not a single thing I post here would surprise anyone.... let alone offend them... They've known about this place since the threat to come to school and the pool...

Yes, but not in about the past 100 years.
Notice that where the statues were torn down, no new ones were built, AFAIK. Just green grass. The Left has destroyed our history as solidly as Pedo Don is destroying DEI.

Not sure about the Left destroying the history but here's where it bit some guy in the ass.
