What if the most famous story of the Civil Rights Movement is incomplete? We all know the name Rosa Parks, but nine months before her celebrated stand, a 15-year-old girl named Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus. Her spontaneous act of defiance was a catalyst, yet her story was deliberately pushed aside by leaders who sought a different symbol. This book reclaims her powerful narrative, revealing the complex life of an "unsung heroine" who deserves her place in our history books. Through her journey, we expose the difficult truths of a movement that was often messy and imperfect. More than just a historical account, this is a profound exploration of courage, justice, and the true meaning of heroism. Discover the full story that proves behind every great moment are the ordinary people who made it possible.
