Book excerpt: When Prudence Crandall opened a school for young girls in 1831, she didn't expect trouble. But that is just what she got when she allowed African American girls to attend. A Quaker and abolitionist, Prudence defied the prejudiced attitudes and violent actions of those around her and fought to keep her school open when few others would have dared.
