From NYT bestselling author Tracey Baptiste comes a singular
picture book that is both a biography about Claudette Colvin, the
teen whose activism launched the Montgomery bus boycott, and a
celebration of collective action. When fifteen-year-old Claudette
Colvin boarded a segregated bus on March 2, 1955, she had no idea
she was about to make history. At school she was learning about
abolitionists like Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, which helped
inspire her decision to refuse to give up her seat to a white
woman, which led to her arrest, which began a crucial chain of
events: Rosa Park's sit-in nine months later, the organization of
the Montgomery bus boycott by activists like Professor Jo Ann
Robinson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the Supreme Court
decision that Alabama's bus segregation was unconstitutional-a
major triumph for the civil rights movement. Because of Claudette's
brave stand against injustice, history was transformed. Now it's
time for young readers to learn about this living legend, her
pivotal role in the civil rights movement, and the power of one
person reaching out to another in the fight for change.
