Who Was Claudette Colvin?

Image
Claudette Colvin (born September 5, 1939) is a pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement . On March 2, 1955, she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in segregated Montgomery, Alabama , nine months prior to Rosa Parks . Colvin was among the five plaintiffs originally included in the federal court case filed by civil rights attorney Fred Gray on February 1, 1956 , as Browder v. Gayle , and she testified before the three-judge panel that heard the case in the United States District Court . On June 13, 1956, the judges determined that the state and local laws requiring bus segregation in Alabama were unconstitutional. The case went to the United States Supreme Court , which upheld their ruling on December 17, 1956. Colvin was the last witness to testify. Three days later, the Supreme Court issued an order to Montgomery and the state of Alabama to end bus segregation, and the Montgomery Bus Boycott was called off. Learn More about Claudette Colvin...

A major figure of the Cuban Revolution , his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous counter cultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture . As a young medical student , Guevara traveled throughout South America and was radicalized by the poverty, hunger and disease he witnessed. His burgeoning desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his involvement in Guatemala 's social reforms under President Jacobo Árbenz , whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow at the behest of the United Fruit Company solidified Guevara's political ideology. Later in Mexico City , Guevara met Raúl and Fidel Castro , joined their 26th of July Movement and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht Granma with the intention of overthrowi...
