Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward JusticeRead about another book on the list.
by Phillip Hoose
Months before Rosa Parks got arrested, Colvin refused to give her bus seat to a white person. The Alabama teen was arrested, but civil-rights leaders wanted a better face for the movement so her battle wasn't taken up as the one for Parks was soon after. This is Colvin's story.
