#OnThisDay in 1955, Montgomery, Alabama teen Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white woman on a city bus. Decades after her refusal to relinquish her seat she said of her protest, “History had me glued to the seat.” #WomensHistoryMonth #SmithsonianWHM

 On March 2, 1955, a 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama—nine months before Rosa Parks. Today, we honor her bravery and unwavering spirit. Thank you, Ms. Colvin, for standing tall so others could rise.
