Several years ago I boarded the trolley with my sleeping three year old boy in my arms. It was packed. But what I'll never forget was that the only person to offer me a seat was the young woman who stood up and allowed me to sit at the front. All I could think of was this lovely act of hers and of Ms. Rosa Parks.
Thank you for reminding us that most of the people who took the first steps in fighting for racial equality have been forgotten. Please keep reminding us of those who sacrificed but who's names are not recalled. Thank you Claudette Colvin.
Claudette Colvin would have gotten the credit if she wasn't a pregnant teenager impregnated by a married man. Rosa Parks was more presentable to the public.
ROSA PARKS WASNT THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO REFUSE TO GIVE UP HER SEAT AND GET ARRESTED. SHE DID WHAT OTHERS DID AND YET WE REMEMBER HER BUT NOT THE OTHER WOMEN WHO STOOD THEIR GROUND. WHY IS SHE ANY BETTER THAN THOSE OTHER WOMEN?!
It didn't just stop there. Wek Walensa (sic) was inspired by Parks with his Solidarity movement in Poland which thwarted the communist control in Poland and later led to German reunification and a greater collapse of the Soviet Union.

Because today’s generation have no manners or consideration for others.
Wow Rosa is a real hero indeed
It has been proven she was a paid actress so no, not a hero.
Left out the part where they sued to protesters for not riding lol. Because they were losing so much money.
Sydney Thank you for that detailed info. I don't think a lot of people knew or know about that. Even when we are on the right side we ge sued... Smh
Claudette Colvin was the first one who refused to give up her seat. It's not right that Rosa Parks is the only one getting all the credit.

Was once told it was bc she could pass as white🤷🏽♀️
Mother of the civil rights movements
Never knew west was living in dark ages till few decades ago
What a lady!
I can’t believe this whole racism thing actually happened... in real life
San Miguel how can you not believe that. You sound like you’re surprised. How old are you 15 maybe.
I live in Montgomery. The amount of courage it took for her to do what she did is staggering. She’s a national treasure.
But why does she get the spotlight when another women did this before her
Rosa is light skinned doesn’t look black... ms colvin dark skinned looks black. How often do they really praise anyone that is with a dark complexion
That was systemic racism
Go Rosa....
I set on bus seat and saw this video on my recommendation and bus directions is Rosa park
Bus 139 direction Rosa park
Someone is tracking you and gathering your data
Nice one.
Ha ha ha ! " Nobody Does it Better " I thank GOD" for sending us the great ones happy birthday Soldier Rosa Parks' is my hero amen.

Long live Rosa parks.
Actually Claudette Colvin stood up first at only 15 years old
Now you cant get them out the back of the bus.
A true hero
Wasn't Robert freeman also there?
It's a shame that the very people she tried to help, their kids/grandkids, later beat her up in Detroit.
I and the 781 to watch this BTW #GoRosa!
She doesn’t look black
Well she is.
Rosa parks is barley tan though..keep using skin shade as an oppression/manipulation tool.
WHO CARES????????
No era fea y no tan oscura
Me
She looks like Rhue Paul
Oof
One my my few human heros.
But she not look black at all.
Fuckin right✊
