“On that supercharged day in 1955, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Ala., she rode her way into history books, credited with helping to ignite the civil rights movement.
But there was another woman, named Claudette Colvin, who refused to be treated like a substandard citizen on one of those Montgomery buses — and she did it nine months before Mrs. Parks. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made his political debut fighting her arrest. Moreover, she was the star witness in the legal case that eventually forced bus desegregation.”
OccupyMontgomery Thanks Ms.Colvin
I hate when teenage girls put as their Facebook status “ew an old man just smiled at me. what a pervert”. I see it a few times a week. The old man most likely looked at you because he is friendly and isn’t as stuck up and as arrogant as you.
