Rest in peace, Claudette Colvin.
She did a Rosa Parks 9 months before Parks did, but for some reason didn't make the news in the same way, which is maybe why you haven't heard of her. I will confess that I hadn't until I heard about her on the radio this morning.
Anyway, a true pioneer of the US civil rights movement who deserves to be remembered.
