In 1963, Rosalyn Coleman Gilchrist, a white Oklahoma housewife, boarded a bus and rode it across the country to march on Washington. It wasn’t her first civil rights protest. On the bus she agreed to sell her home — in her all-white suburb — to a black doctor. Before the sale went through, the city fathers had her arrested and confined in the state mental hospital. She lost her home, her children, and her freedom. Five years later her youngest son — now facing prison for his own resistance to the draft and the Vietnam War — obtained his mother’s freedom.
