March 2, 1955 - Nine months before Rosa Parks made headlines, teenager Claudette Colvin was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person. She was active in the Youth Council of the local NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).

Though the Montgomery Bus Boycott was begun after Ms. Parks’s arrest, Clovin’s legal case became part of the basis for a federal court challenge to Alabama’s segregation laws. Colvin became one of four plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle, in which the Supreme Court ultimately struck down the law under which she was arrested for merely taking her set on a bus

"Whenever people ask me 'Why didn't you get up when the bus driver asked you?' I say it felt as though Harriet Tubman's hands were pushing me down on one shoulder and Sojourner Truth's hands were pushing me down on the other shoulder. I felt inspired by these women because my teacher taught us about them in so much detail."

Rest in peace, Claudette Colvin.

She did a Rosa Parks 9 months before Parks did, but for some reason didn't make the news in the same way, which is maybe why you haven't heard of her. I will confess that I hadn't until I heard about her on the radio this morning.

Anyway, a true pioneer of the US civil rights movement who deserves to be remembered.
