Civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin honored for bus protest

Claudette was 15 years old in 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus in Alabama — 9 months before Rosa Parks. Now the 80-year-old has been honored with a street in her name.

  1. Just finding out about her and to be honest this should not have surprised me but it did and it really hurt my heart to be honest. Our history a the system teach it is such BS.

  2. Just today I found out about this amazing woman, while I was reading something about Rosa Parks. I don’t know why her story is not that known. So much respect for this woman

  3. That was supposed to be for a copper color movement right nothing against all women though but I'm just sayingπŸ˜’βš‘βš‘βš‘

  4. She was younger more vulnerable and more hated than rosa and she stood firm……and sat silent and let herself be forgotten for the larger cause…Black women man…..the strength I may never know

  5. Wasn't she pregnant at the time and the movement felt she was too young and the look of an unmarried, pregnant adolescent as the face of the bus protests. Whack, but for those times I do understand. I'm glad more people are learning the TRUE story. She's a brave and beautiful soul.

  8. Me viewing more of this video news begins to insult me more!!!😑 Please research Ida B. Wells!!!!!!!! She did the same thing prior to all of them, Rosa Parks and C. Colvin! Ida B Wells, please know your history!!🀨 Pull up her law suit, etc! ( My people claim they want freedom but don’t read history!!! This is what β€œ White Supremacy β€œ, depends of us not recognizing our pedigree and our true history!) πŸ˜’ In just saying……….πŸ˜”

  9. Peace and Blessings ABC News. I have to demand that you DO NOT FORGET THE ASTONISHING Ida B. Wells!!!!!🀨 Please look into her story! She was an Asiatic /African American woman, who refused to not give up her seat!!! The driver of the trolly or bus tried to physically remove her when see said emphatically, β€œ NO!” The drive then walked off the trolly or bus asked other European men for help to remove her. All three punk a$$ European men physically removed her. Ida B. Wells did not let the issue go after the physical removal! She took them/ the company to court and won her case!!! This was Ida B. Wells ah ha moment, which started her career as an Anti-Lynch crusader and she fought for African And Civil Rights. She is also co-founder of NAACP. Please do not be like everyone else and ignore this Great Woman! Peace from the Magi Hypnotist in the East. β€οΈπŸ‡²πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβœ‘οΈπŸ™πŸΎ
