At just 15, Claudette Colvin was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white woman.
Her story went long untold, but her actions changed history and paved the way for the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
We mourn her loss and honor her as a civil rights leader.

Most of the spending was on guns and armor, but there have also been significant purchases of chemical weapons and “guided missile warheads and explosive components.”
