The Teen Who Refused Before Rosa ParksAjouté :
At just 15, Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, nearly 9 months before Rosa Parks became the better-known symbol of the fight against bus segregation. Police dragged her off the bus and arrested her, but civil rights leaders later feared her youth and personal circumstances would make it harder to build public support around her case. Her role was overlooked for decades, even though she helped lay the groundwork for one of the most important victories of the civil rights movement.
