How is Claudette Colvin the other Rosa Parks when she was the first brave person to take a stand?!, This title is an insult to Claudette Colvin's legacy.
Exactly. Rosa Parks would be the next Claudette Colvin. There was another woman before them, who didn't get off a street car, for white people in New York. She was forcibly removed from the street car. With the help of her husband and Fredrick Douglas, she won a $200 lawsuit. Elizabeth Jennings is her name.
There were at least 2 posterchildren for the naacp before her even. They were deemed unfit as well by the naacp. Rosa worked for the naacp for 12 years so there was no "singular act"
She is a true American Hero. I will teach my daughter about her. They didn't boycott after Claudette Colvin because she was too Militant. The face of the movement had to attract white sympathy and they couldn't get that from Ms. Colvin. She wasn't "safe". But she was our hero and we should treat her as such.
it's also because she was "too dark" and was a pregnant teen. Idk how she was too militant but please explain (I'm not trying to start an argument just genuinely curious on how she was too militant)
+Michael Park I don't know about militant but people are quoted as having called her too "mouthy" and "feisty", so they were afraid she couldn't get sympathy. That in addition to the skin color and class issues.
that's why I like to do my own research cause in school we was taught Rosa Parks was the first one to get kick off and arrested . Claudette Colvin was the first to get arrested and the one to end bus boycott.
Netera Pratt-Gutierrez That's where I learned about Miss Colvin also. To share to my Facebook I found this video to share, cause I wasn't fond of the name 'drunk history'.
+Queen X Don't forget Jo Ann Robinson she had to deal with this problem before both of them.She was the brains behind the Montgomery Boycotts in the 50s.

Claudette Colvin Was First to Refuse Giving Up Seat on Montgomery Bus. She was not an activist. Parks was an activist,working for the NAACP. So who was the more sincere and bravest of these twp women? What I see here is Parks and her political activist organization taking full credit for what this young girl done 9 months prior, and took it through the court system where it counted the most (at that time). Basically, Claudette Colvin, who was only 15 years old, was thrown under the bus by the political activist and stole all Colvin glory and fame. Shame on you Parks and NAACP.
Who are you to undermine Rosa's contribution and sacrifice against the evil white supremacist system, who took everything from her including her job for demanding justice.
IT'S ABOUT TIME SHE GETS THE CREDIT , THE NAACP WORKERS DECIDED TO TAKE THE CREDIT FOR THEMSELVES. THE COLVIN CASE WENT TO THE SUPREME COURT WHERE SHE WON , NOT PARKS THE SECRETARY.
Yes John Branski this woman as a teenager was betrayed by the NAACP because of the fact that she was from a poor neighborhood and Rosa Parks was light skinned!!!!!
john branski It was not her fault she was used by ppl in the NAACP, they felt that she looked more respectable as oppose to a young woman, from a poor neighborhood.I assumed wrongly, that she was pregnant but in a interview on the tv show DEMOCRACY NOW, she stated that she was not pregnant but that still doesn't excuse the NAACP for turning their backs on this young woman.Plenty of black women, stated in one on one interviews that she got their inspiration from her as oppose to Parks.Also there was another, person who had to deal with these cruel insults as well JO ANN ROBINSON she was the brains behind the bus boycotts,she passed around fliers telling ppl not to ride the buses and to carpool instead from their jobs to home!!!!!!!
As a 15 year-old, she did not have adult rights. Parks was an adult and her case could not be dismissed for her "being a minor" from naysayers. A 15 yo can't be taken on the road, she needed to complete her education, etc. She was free to continue her activism later.
i mean like yes rosa parks was a seamstress and she was unexpected to do this but claudette was young and brave enough to take a stand for her feelings against jim crow
Wow at 9:57 because she wore braids, they said she was crazy and would “lose her boyfriend.” Man they’ve been persecuting black women about our hair for decades! LEAVE 👏🏽 US 👏🏽 ALONE 👏🏽 We can wear our hair, however we want to.
Alex The Killer yes she does deserve more I never knew about her honestly I thought Rosa Park was the first but this Brave lady did it nine months before Rosa Park and they never taught us that in school
This is so wrong not giving this woman (who refused to move to the back of the bus 9 months before Parks did) all the credit instead of Parks. What's interesting is Parks worked at the NAACP when Colvin did so. So why aren't we giving her all the credit given to Parks?
This incident isn't the only thing that happened that year regarding blacks riding the segregated buses. Earlier that year, a 15 year old girl was brutally beaten for not following the bus driver's orders. Five years earlier, a black soldier Thomas Edward Brooks was murdered on the bus in front of white and black people and the officer was not arrested. So, she was used as the face of the movement but not the primary cause of it. And Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn't the only black person either to help the movement there are unsung heroes who have never received recognition for being the true motivators for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and it was a group of black women (WOMEN'S POLITICAL COUNCIL) made countless phone calls to other black officials to spark a boycott. Edgar Daniel Nixon (a black man) is the man who really was behind black power movement in Montgomery, Alabama at that time. Journalists' and history teachers are not properly educating people on the particulars of the Civil Rights Movement. Some people are chosen to be forerunners, but victory isn't won by the General it's won by the unsung soldiers.
But I also respect the fact that you brought this story to light, so that I can see and respect the courage of my Elder. For that I thank you. Lose the Hidden agendas!!
Sad part is...if this was 2017, they would have shot her for "non compliance"...paid administrative leave...video tape clear footage...still would've gotten acquitted
Claudette Colvin (b, September 5, 1939) is a African American woman from Alabama. In 1955, at the age of 15, she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white person, in violation of local law. Her arrest preceded civil rights activist Rosa Parks' (on December 1, 1955) by nine months.. where is her statue, there is none for a conservative godly woman like her.
This woman had so many rich detail to add to her history and her own reality at the time. She spoke about being taught about africa..what?!! At that time? Tell me about it...I would’ve been all over that, she spoke about blacks not wanting to be called blacks, what? Tell me about it, bring me back to that time...about wearing braids being frowned upon by blacks at that time..white boys in the store? Keep talking...wait Mary luis Smith too? Wtf lady keep talking...So many rich facts..travel back in time through the life of Claudette Colvin...the only thing they where able to cover was “she was before Rosa Parks”..that’s cool but I was left wanting her to keep talking with a more profound interviewer
@Escapeism FACTS!!!!!!!It's like they were only interested in playing the "First Who" game.. She spoke about so much more than that....Maybe if she said, she was informed by "Communist" literature and Saul Alinsky writings back then, they would of jumped for joy?? And had her speak more...
You can thank tiktok that I'm here also Martin Luther King Jr didn't die from the shot he died because the surgeon stopped preforming surgery on him because he was black
I read a sociological article on this called "Collective Forgetting and the Symbolic Power of Oneness: The Strange Apotheosis of Rosa Parks" by Barry Schwartz. It was published in Social Psychology Quarterly - 2009, Vol. 72. No. 2, 123-142. The article's argument is the idea of "oneness" and that people have a difficult time remembering many people. That's why they prefer 1 person or a collective group of people that can be classified as one entity like the Little Rock Nine. Interesting article.
maybe it was better that she didn't come forward at the time because white people are very stereotype for instance that incident where that black lady was sitting with her baby in a place she was sitting on the floor and the security called the cops on her and they dragged that baby out of her arms like she was Trash and the first thing the news had said is she had a credit fraud on her account which had nothing to do with the incident in the first place it was more about her sitting on the floor so can you imagine if Claudette came forward they would diss her because she's black and pregnant she's 15 and quick to criticize her background and probably stating in that all black people are like that. Instead of looking at the whole situation of what she achieved by standing up to these white people
Eric Howard exactly I just read the whole article about her and then it's my duty to spread the word that she was before Rosa Park not to take anything away from her
dont get mad at the title. just appreciate the fact that a tree does not make a forest. we are all in this together. everyone has a part to play. The idea of blacks not want to be called blacks is well explained by this woman.I am just thankful that she is alive to talk about it in her own words. I heard about her name from Dick Gregory.

Not to devalue Rosa Parks' contribution to civil rights, but I'd assume she wasn't the first person to be defiant. She was the most famous certainly for many different factors from what I've read.
@@theresawebb6368 black leaders and the democratic party played major rolls in the black community. I heard that the black community was more structured and daddy's were in the home before king and Lyndon b brought on section 8, government assistance. I believe that that's one of the reasoning for our morality is low
Rosa Parks never claimed to be the first but Colvin wasn't the first either black people were arrested on the buses all the time. This is just something else history gets wrong
No it wasn't black people were arrested on the buses all the time. Rosa Parks never claimed to be the first. Parks wasn't the first and neither was Colvin
Wasn't Rosa Parks more of a publicity stunt (for lack of a better term)? In other words: they took a mature, smart, light skinned black woman (Parks) and had her re-enact the events of Claudette Colvin from 9 months earlier. This was all to make for a story that would go further in the press and hopefully catch the attention of the nation...which it damn well did :)
I forgot that also the NAACP didn't want to use Claudette as the face of the movement because she was a pregnant teenager and that would reflect poorly.
Pete Jeffris I'm not, OUT OF TOUCH.😑 It hasn't been out of use quite as long as you say. And I still prefer it to biracial. Biracial's not accurate, enough. And I'm far from a coot.😤
Claudette Colvin... was NOT the other .. Rosa Parks.... she was the ONE and ONLY Claudette .. and Before Rosa....... yet they favored Rosa.. cuz she was LIGHT SKINNED and CLaudette was DARK SKINNED age 15
I didn't quite understand why Claudette now is highlighted when people even before her, as they say in the interview, did the same thing - is it because of her age and the fact that she was arrested?
The NAACP didn't want to use Claudia has the face of the movement, maybe because she is darker skin or because she had a child at 15... anyways they made rosa the face of the movement instead of Claudia..
It just wasn't the hand she was dealt. If she was supposed to be "the real rosa parks" she would have been.. Everything happens the way it's suppose to..
