It was March 2, 1955, when the fifteen-year-old schoolgirl, named Claudette Colvin, refused to move to the back of the bus, nine months before Rosa Parks' stand that launched the Montgomery bus boycott. Claudette Colvin's stand didn't stop there. She was arrested and thrown in jail. She was one of four women who challenged the segregation law in court. That court case successfully overturned bus segregation laws in Alabama.
