In March 1955, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white woman while riding the Montgomery city bus. Her protest took place almost nine months before Rosa Parks.


The following year, Claudette Colvin became one of four plaintiffs in the case “Browder v. Gayle” and worked towards overturning state laws that required segregated transportation in Montgomery. She defended her actions and those who were boycotting the buses. The case succeeded, and in 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s ruling that deemed segregated buses unconstitutional.


Why did Rosa Parks’s refusal to move spark a citywide bus boycott while Claudette Colvin’s did not? We’ll be exploring this and similar questions at our 2020 National Youth Summit on September 22.

Today is Claudette Colvin's 81st birthday.
