1. Claudette Colvin Live

It is one thing to read Phillip Hoose's biography, Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice (FSG). It is another to meet the woman herself. I have had the honor over the last nine months of watching Phil share the stage with unsung Civil Rights heroine, Claudette Colvin. In Claudette today you can see the 15-year-old girl that said "no" to Jim Crow by refusing to give up her bus seat on a Montgomery, AL bus 9 months before Rosa Parks.

We gathered all of the photos and audio recordings of their appearances and wove them together the best we could for a YouTube piece. I hope it captures the spark of this fine, fine woman whose story is finally told in full in Phil's stunning biography.
