Nine months before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin did the same thing—and was promptly erased from the history books. This episode traces how a studious Black teenager, steeped in constitutional lessons and NAACP Youth Council meetings, became the first to challenge bus segregation, only to be sidelined by movement leaders who deemed her an unsuitable symbol once she became pregnant and unmarried. Yet it was Colvin, not Parks, who delivered the decisive legal blow by serving as a plaintiff in the landmark Browder v. Gayle case that ended bus segregation in the courts.
