Four women were courageous enough to be on that case, including two teenagers --Claudette Colvin & Mary Louise Smith, along with Aurelia Browder & Susie McDonald. That case went to the Supreme Court and led to the desegregation of Montgomery's buses Dec. 21, 1956. Rest in power, Claudette Colvin.

Rosa Parks made her bus stand Dec. 1. Colvin's lawyer Fred Gray was Parks' lawyer. They worried that the state would hold up Parks' appeal (like they had done with Viola White in 1944). So Fred Gray decided to file a proactive federal case. Gray wanted a minister but no minister stepped forward.

The judge strategically threw out the segregation & disturbing the peace charges and only found her guilty of assaulting an officer, making a legal challenge to segregation harder. Plus, many Black leaders didn't trust young people & thought that Colvin was too "feisty" and not the right image.

Colvin explained, "I could not move, because history had me glued to the seat. . . It felt like Sojourner Truth’s hands were pushing me down on one shoulder & Harriet Tubman’s hands were pushing me down on another shoulder, & I could not move." Rosa Parks raised money for her case.

Claudette Colvin was a political young woman. She'd studied segregation in school & been politicized by the arrest of classmate, 16-year-old Jeremiah Reeves, who was convicted & ultimately executed for a consensual relationship with a young white woman. Colvin joined Rosa Parks' NAACP Youth Council.

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Colvin stopped straightening her hair after the May trial. She was NOT pregnant when community leaders decided not to go forward with her case. She said the only adult who kept up with her that summer was Rosa Parks who wanted her to continue to be involved in the Youth Council.

It takes 3–5 litres of water to produce 1 litre of bottled water. Yet companies pay just $503 per million litres. Ford’s “cutting red tape” is code for selling public resources. #onpoli

Doug Ford is making it easier for bottling companies to exploit Ontario groundwater
Permitting water bottling promotes the privatization of a shared public good for low social benefit and high environmental cost.
