This is how Marguerite finally gets a job on the streetcars:

Marguerite does not accept rejection. She insists and persists. At first, the streetcar company tells her to go away because of her skin color. However, she keeps on coming back until they finally allow her to fill in an application.

After taking some tests, she finally becomes the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco.

This question is about Marguerite Ann Johnson, also (and better) known as Maya Angelou.
Maya was determined to get a job as a streetcar conductor in San Francisco.
Her mother told her the company would never hire Maya because of her skin color.
At first, it seemed that her mother was right. Maya was indeed rejected for being black.
However, she insisted and persisted. She kept on coming back to the company.
They finally gave her a chance and, after passing the tests, Maya became the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco.
