Original Note:
Claudette Colvin was not the first African American arrested for refusing to give up their bus seat. Bayard Rustin, in 1942, was arrested for a similar act of protest while on a bus to Nashville. Also, Rosa Parks and Colvin’s protests both occurred in 1955, 9 months apart. https://americansall.org/legacy-story-individual/bayard-rustin https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/claudette-colvin-refuses-to-give-up-her-seat
