TEXT FROM GOIN' SOMEPLACE SPECIAL
by Patrica McKissack

At the Corner a green and white bus came to a jerky stop and hissed.  
When the doors folded back, 'Tricia Ann bounded up the steps and
 dropped in the fare same as when Mama Frances was with her.  

The girl squared her shoulders, walked to the back, and took a seat
behind the Jim Crow sign that said:  COLORED SECTION.
