Thompson, a Black barber from Owego, was removed from a train because he didn&#8217;t sit where he was told.\u00a0Thompson\u2019s train was in Elmira, traveling toward Watkins Glen, where he hoped to catch a boat to Geneva. He sued and won damages.<\/p>\n<p>Nizalowski believes that this is the first challenge to discrimination on public transportation. The earliest documented case to date was that of Elizabeth Jennings Graham who sued a New York City trolley car company in 1854.\u00a0She won her case, leading to the eventual desegregation of all New York City transit systems by 1865.<\/p>\n<p>Nizalowski also spoke about the CCC camp that was established in Tioga County for Black veterans of WWI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Nizalowski gave a talk on Black History in Tioga County at the Historical Society in Owego on Feb. 21.\u00a0He feels very certain that an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
