Lot of stuffs they wrote about her on 1rst december, strangely the birthday of Rosa Parks' acts.
That's great, but Claudette Colvin could have her own : she had way more gut !
Some way, Rosa Parks may not have done that, hadn't she known of Colvin's acts.
Somehow, her merits are overrated; I still understand that, you know, for the movement image and presentation, they would not use a little more Colvin' at the moment, but now?
When the bus driver told Rosa Parks that he would have to call the police if she didn’t get up, Parks replied, with extraordinary self-possession, “You may do that.” When the police arrived, she went without resistance. When the cops came for Claudette Colvin, she yelled at them that they were violating her rights, and refused to move. They dragged her from the bus. When they kicked her, she kicked them back.
