Fifteen years old, the tiny Colvin attended Booker T. Washington High School.&nbsp; She\u2019d been politicized by the mistreatment of her classmate Jeremiah Reeves and had just written a paper on the problems of downtown segregation. On the bus home that day, the white section filled up. A white woman was left standing. The driver called out, and the three students sitting in Colvin\u2019s row got up but Colvin refused. \u201cWe\u2019d been studying the Constitution\u2026I knew I had rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standing white woman refused to sit across the aisle from her. \u201cIf she sat down in the same row as me, it meant I was as good as her,\u201d Colvin noted. The driver yelled out again, \u201cWhy are you still sittin\u2019 there?\u201d Colvin recalled. \u201cA white rider yelled from the front, \u2018You got to get up!\u2019\u201d A girl named Margaret Johnson answered from the back, \u201cShe ain\u2019t got to do nothin\u2019 but stay black and die.\u201d There were thirteen students on the bus that day, most of them her classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two cops roughly arrested her and pulled her off the bus.&nbsp; Other black people on the bus said Colvin \u201cfought like a little tigress\u201d, but Colvin maintained that she went limp and \u201cdidn\u2019t fight back.\u201d In the patrol car, the officers mocked her and made comments about parts of her body. Colvin worried they might try to rape her; she tried to cover her crotch and put her mind on other things.&nbsp; \u201cI recited Edgar Allan Poe, Annabel Lee, the characters of Midsummer\u2019s Night Dream, the Lord\u2019s Prayer and the 23rd Psalm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Various civil rights activists in Montgomery were outraged by the arrest and began to organize. Rosa Parks and white ally Virginia Durr began fundraising for young Colvin\u2019s case, and more than one hundred letters and a stack of donations streamed into Parks\u2019 apartment. Parks was hopeful that the young woman\u2019s arrest would embolden other young people to action and spark interest in the NAACP youth meetings. She encouraged Colvin to get active in the youth council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black community members met with the city, and various promises were made. At a second meeting with city officials, they took a petition to the bus company and city officials which asked for more courteous treatment and no visible signs of segregation on the bus. Tired of the city\u2019s \u201crun-around\u201d, Parks refused to join them: \u201cI had decided I would not go anywhere with a piece of paper in my hand asking white folks for any favors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colvin\u2019s case went to trial in May.&nbsp;Colvin had been charged with three crimes. The judge strategically dropped two of the charges (for disturbing the peace and breaking the segregation law) but found her guilty on the third for assaulting the officers who arrested her. Since Colvin had only been convicted of assault, appealing her case could not directly challenge the segregation law.&nbsp;The community was outraged. Some people stayed off the buses.&nbsp;But Colvin was young and seen as \u201cfeisty\u201d and \u201cuncontrollable\u201d by many adults and lived on the wrong side of town.&nbsp;Ultimately, civil rights leaders deemed her not the right kind of plaintiff to organize around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a myth, however, that they dropped her because she was pregnant.&nbsp;Colvin was not pregnant when the community decided not to pursue her case.&nbsp; Later in the summer, Colvin found out she had become pregnant by an older man.&nbsp; When this news came to light, many felt further convinced they had done the right thing in not pursuing her case.&nbsp; Over time, the stories would change so Colvin would be pregnant at the time of her arrest and trial \u2014 which was not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Colvin, Mrs. Parks was the only adult leader who kept up with her that summer. Colvin had been a member of the NAACP Youth Council before the arrest and continued to attend Youth Council meetings. Parks made Colvin secretary of the council, trying to nurture the young woman\u2019s spirit and budding leadership. Claudette Colvin recalled that she only went to Youth Council meetings \u201cif I could get a ride\u201d and sometimes she would \u201cstay overnight at Rosa\u2019s \u2014 she lived in the projects across the street.\u201d Parks exhibited a certain forcefulness and strictness with the young people. According to Colvin, Parks \u201cwas very kind and thoughtful; she knew exactly how I liked my coffee and fixed me peanut butter and Ritz crackers, but she didn\u2019t say much at all. Then when the meeting started, I\u2019d think, Is that the same lady? She would come across very strong about rights. She would pass out leaflets saying things like \u2018We are going to break down the walls of segregation.\u2019\u201d Parks would make Colvin tell the story of her bus arrest over and over. \u201cAfter a while they had all heard it a million times,\u2019 Colvin recalled, \u201cThey seemed bored with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colvin would become one of the plaintiffs on the federal case,&nbsp;<em>Browder v Gayle<\/em>, filed in February 1956 during the boycott which ultimately led to the desegregation of Montgomery\u2019s buses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is always great to give someone their flowers when they are still with us,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2095],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-women-hold-up-half-the-sky"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Claudette Colvin (1939- ) &#8211; Idavox<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It is always great to give someone their flowers when they are still with us, especially someone who was Rosa Parks before Rosa Parks but is not as celebrated because of the norms of the day.
