Author Jacquelyn Harvey shattered the barriers of segregation in Monroe, Louisiana. In her powerful book, Forged When Sugar Tastes Like Salt, she shares a deeply personal account of how segregation impacted her life and the lives of those around her. As the first Black student to attend an all-white school in Monroe, she made history—becoming the first Black “Rebel.”

It's a compelling and courageous story of resilience, change, and breaking through racial boundaries.
