Before Rosa Parks made history, a 15-year-old girl took a stand that few remember today. Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, igniting a spark in the Civil Rights Movement. But why was her story overlooked?

Join us as we bring Claudette Colvin’s name back into the conversation and recognize the impact of those who defy injustice, no matter their age.
