Ladies and Gentlemen, May I introduce to you a SPECTACULAR woman named Claudette Colvin!!!!!!!!!! I was refreshing my knowledge of Rosa Parks because I wanted to write about her today but I happened to come across some new information that moved me deeply! Its about Claudette! First of all, my BFF's name is Claudette so her name grabbed my attention and I started reading about her. When she was just 15 YEARS OLD she was the FIRST person to refuse to give up her seat to a white person on a Montgomery bus system... the Rosa Parks incident happened 9 months later...... you have to read the link!!!!!!!!! I laughed and cried.
1. Who says kids can't change the world?
2. Sometimes disorderly conduct creates change if its for the right reasons.
3. Claudette Colvin is an AMAZING woman with a CAPITAL A+!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER!!!!!!!
4. I wonder what she is doing today?
