Claudette Colvin
- TriviaIn September 2016, the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, Smithsonian Institution, unveiled a permanent Rosa Parks exhibit.
No such permanent exhibit was made for Claudette Colvin, who was not present at the formal Grand Opening Dedication Ceremony for the Museum held on 24 September 2016. She had not even been invited.
For many, her story is still not yet known. Her undeniable contribution to the American Civil Rights Movement - not only in action, but also in principle and philosophy - is still not yet given the memory, honor, and respect which it deserves.
- QuotesMy mother told me to be quiet about what I did. She told me to let Rosa be the one. White people aren't going to bother Rosa; they like her.
