Norvel Lee, an unsung historical figure, rightfully should be included on a list of famous African Americans.
On a September morning in 1948 - while a member of the U.S. Olympic team, a Howard University student, and a veteran of World War 2 - Norvel Lee was arrested for taking a seat in the white section of a segregated train in rural Virginia. Lee's appeal of the case resulted in a landmark Jim Crow era civil rights decision.
