Colvin knew Rosa Parks because she was involved in her youth group.

She was one of the players who helped spark the Civil rights movement.

2021: Spring Break 2021 - Montgomery, Alabama

On my way home from Florida from my Spring Break 2021 trip I took the long way home so that I could stop and see several civil rights sites on the way. I had been wanting to make this trip for several years, and I am glad that I did so. This part of the trip is reflected in the next several spreads and is thought provoking and sobering. But I feel that it is an important part of American history…

To the people who complained about having to boycott the Oscars, Eurovision, Superbowl, Disney+, etc., because it's "too much". Black Americans in Montgomery boycotted a whole damn bus system in protest of segregation in Dec 1955 for a whole year. They boycotted a public transportation service for a fucking year and y'all can't even boycott a few televsion events?? Y'all are weak.

Why are people still acting like there's a huge effective boycott against multinational nightmare brands like mcdonalds and starbucks literally every bit of evidence people post is just confirmation bias I stg... "the parking lot was empty" yeah what on a grey wednesday morning?

There isn't even an 'official' boycott against those companies because they're too fucking huge and they've had absolutely no downturn in stock prices, I'm begging you nicely to actually listen to the BDS movement who know what the fuck they're doing and which companies are actually tangibly impacted by this kind of action instead of just not eating hamburger for 2 days and cheering about it. They NEED your coordinated effort WITH THEM to function, not just what independently sounds like a vaguely good idea for a week.

#the social media conception of a boycott is maddening #i swear people heard about the civil rights bus boycott and assumed it meant people just didnt take the bus for 3 days

On This Day in 1955: Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white woman on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. At just 15 years old, she was arrested and sent to jail.

Decades later, she said: “I always tell young people to hold on to their dreams — and sometimes you have to stand up for what you think is right, even if you have to stand alone.”

We couldn't agree more. Thank you, Claudette, for your incredible bravery. Standing up for what you thought was right in 1955 sparked a movement of equality for all Black Americans who came after you.  🙌🏾

Today i learned three things:

1. Claudette Colvin credited her history teacher's lessons on black women throughout history with inspiring her act of civil disobedience, which helped drive the Montgomery Bus Boycotts

2. When the police arrested 16-year-old Claudette, they also charged her with assault. This fraudulent charge was not expunged from her record until 2021.

3. Claudette Colvin IS STILL ALIVE. She is 84 years old.
