Summary
"Before Rosa Parks famously refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin made the same choice. She insisted on standing up -- or in her case, sitting down -- for what was right, and in doing so, fought for equality, fairness, and justice."--, Amazon.com
