Who was Claudette Colvin?

And she did it BEFORE Rosa Parks? Twice Toward Justice is Claudette’s story: part memoir, part historical account, the text alternates between Claudette’s own words and the author’s explanations of background figures and events. It includes some primary documents: arrest records and newspaper articles that help tell the story.
