Elementary school children know the name of Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on a bus and is revered for her courage in leading the resistance of discrimination and segregation in America. But how many know the name of Claudette Colvin who in 1955 refused to give up her seat to a white woman in just the same way in Alabama. Why don't we know her name? Where is her book? Here is her powerful story about her courage and her rejection by her peers and the black leaders of Montgomery, Alabama. This is a story of a young girl who knew what was right and with great determination claimed her place on the bus and in the courtroom as part of a busing case Browder v. Gayle. Great story of a brilliant role model. Ages 11-15
