Summary
Before Rosa Parks, there was Claudette Colvin. In 1955, a 15‑year‑old Black teenager refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery—and her arrest helped lay the legal groundwork for ending bus segregation in America. This episode explores Colvin’s courage, why her story was sidelined for decades, and what her legacy reveals about how history chooses its heroes.
