| Morgan's story began on a Greyhound bus in 1944, when many of the pillars of segregation already were under attack. |
| Morgan drifted in and out of high school, depending on whether she had a job cleaning houses, washing clothes or caring for the children of white people. |
| As Morgan gets the recognition that so long eluded her, it may be tempting to consider her a remarkable woman for one long-ago heroic act. |
