Before Rosa Parks, there was Claudette Colvin, a fearless pregnant teenager who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her story has received less attention, but her actions ignited the spark that fueled the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Today, let's remember Claudette alongside Rosa Parks and honor her pivotal role in the fight for equality. Claudette said, “Let the people know Rosa Parks was the right person for the boycott. But also let them know that the attorneys took four other women to the Supreme Court to challenge the law that led to the end of segregation." When you honor Rosa Parks, remember the four other women: Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Susie McDonald, and Mary Louise Smith. #UntoldStories #MarchOn #CivilRights #Activism #ClaudetteColvin #RosaParks #BlackHistory #WomenInHistory
