Before Rosa L. Parks, there was Claudette Colvin-Freedom Fighter at 15yrs old.
The P.O.P.C.O.R.N. Kidz, the new children's program of the Irvington Branch of the People's Organization for Progress  and H.O.P.E. by F.A.I.T.H. continues to break ground! It is a Black History Program that is not confining itself to February or Black History Month. It is a monthly Black History Program! 
For September, they focused on unsung Civil Rights heroine Claudette Colvin, who is also still in the land of the living. Born on September 5, 1939, Colvin was actually the first person to personally protest segregated busing Montgomery, Alabama and face arrest. It was on March 2, 1955 when Colvin, then only 15 years old, refused to give up her seat to a white woman on a Montgomery bus!...Ten months before the historic arrest of legendary activist Rosa Parks!
