Before Rosa Parks, There Was Claudette Colvin : NPR - 0 views

anonymous on 06 Sep 13This was an interesting article as well. I did not know that there were people before Rosa Parks that refused to give up their seat for a Caucasian patron. I think the media wants us to believe this as well. Would the picture in this week's assignment be as important if other people like Claudette Colvin would have been given more publicity or coverage? There probably are many other pictures like the one in this week's assignment, but American history really only uses this picture. As I mentioned in another link, the United States of America has a terrible problem of forgetting, and also being content with being ignorant to other cultures, experiences and lifestyles.
