About this listen

We remember a recently lost but vital part of Black history: the resistance of Claudette Colvin. At just 15 years old in 1955—months before Rosa Parks—Colvin kept her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus when told to move for a white woman. We trace the legal battle that left a "juvenile delinquent" mark on her record until it was expunged in 2021, and honor the legacy of a pioneer who died recently at age 86.
