The Story behind the print.

Claudette Colvin (born September 5, 1939) was a 15-year-old in Montgomery, Alabama, when, on March 2, 1955, she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus to a white passenger. This act of defiance occurred months before Rosa Parks' more widely known protest. Her bravery in the face of racial segregation made her a significant figure in the early Civil Rights Movement.

Women should celebrate Claudette Colvin because she demonstrated immense courage at a young age, standing up against injustice. Her actions highlight that the fight for civil rights was driven by many individuals, including young women, who took great personal risks. Her willingness to challenge segregation contributed to the legal battles that ultimately dismantled discriminatory laws.

Claudette Colvin's actions helped women and women's futures by reinforcing the importance of fighting for equality. Her participation as a plaintiff in the Browder v. Gayle case, which declared bus segregation unconstitutional, played a crucial role in the Civil Rights Movement. She illustrated that young women could be powerful agents of change, inspiring future generations to challenge injustice.
