Claudette Colvin (born 1939) was a courageous African American teenager whose refusal to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before Rosa Parks. Colvin was handcuffed, arrested, and forcibly removed from the bus while shouting that her constitutional rights were being violated. This event marked an important early act of resistance against racial segregation. Colvin was a member of the NAACP Youth Council and had been learning about the civil rights movement in school. At just 15 years old, Colvin’s bold stand challenged the entrenched Jim Crow laws of the South and helped set the stage for the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Despite her bravery, Colvin did not receive the same public recognition at the time, partly due to her youth and the fact that she was unmarried and pregnant. Nevertheless, she became one of the four plaintiffs in the landmark legal case Browder v. Gayle, which ultimately led to the Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.
In 2021, the record of Colvin's arrest and adjudication of delinquency was expunged by the district court in the county where the charges against her had been brought more than 66 years earlier.
Colvin’s story is a powerful reminder that the Civil Rights Movement was shaped by many activists, not just the most famous figures. Her act of resistance has been memorialized in poetry, books, songs, TV, a children’s picture book, and a biopic.

Farage is asked about another two of his MEPs, who made the same pro-Russia statements that Nathan Gill has now pled guilty to being bribed to make.

"Opinions are opinions."

Farage's defence seems to be that they arrived at those views independently and it has nowt to do with him.

Hmm. 🤔 ~AA

Michelle Mone has just bought a £10m home in Florida, even though she has yet to repay a penny of the £122m PPE Medpro owes the taxpayer. Good job she hasn't committed housing benefit fraud, because she might have been prosecuted then.

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax?

The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

1,611 homeless Britons died last yr, including 11 children & babies under the age of one.

Contrary to Suella Braverman, homelessness isn't a lifestyle. It is a failure of society.

Yet govts cut wages/benefits, public services, local council funding; no curbs on profiteering.

How civilised are we?

'Abject failure' as UK's homeless deaths rise - including children

The government's homelessness minister, Alison McGovern MP, has described the increased number of deaths as an "abject failure that cannot be tolerated".
