Claudette Colvin,  born on September 5, 1939, was a civil rights activist in the 1950s.  As a kid Colvin was hard working and one day wanted to become president. At fifteen years old, when riding the bus home from school, Colvin was asked to give up her seat for a white passenger. She replied saying "It's my constitutional right to sit here as much as that lady. I paid my fare, it's my constitutional right." Due to this exclamation she was arrested and charged with violating the cities segregation laws. She became one of four complainants who took part in the Browder vs. Gayle trial, which ruled the segregational bus system was unconstitutional. Although Colvin's act was extraordinarily brave she is not recognized for it even though she was the first to protest, even before Rosa Parks.  Colvin was pushed to the side because she was thought to be too aggressive and young to be the face of the civil rights movement. Claudette Colvin is truly a living legend.
