"Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice" is a biography that chronicles the life of Claudette Colvin, an African American teenager who, at the age of 15, became one of the first individuals to resist bus segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before Rosa Parks' more widely recognized act of defiance. The book highlights her pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, her subsequent legal battles, and the challenges she faced for being a young and lesser-known activist. Through her story, it explores themes of courage, racial injustice, and the importance of youth activism in the fight for equality.
