It is so shameful the bus allowed that the laws laws to treat folks like that. same with hanging black people without a trial or anything. plus separate water fountains and bathrooms. wow I can't amagine living segregated like that.

How come we've hardly heard about Claudette before? That took some guts to do especially at fifteen!

Not Googling or Wiki-ing this, but I think the reason the NAACP didn't push this case was because she was a pregnant teenager--yeah, your rights were/are constricted for that, too (male saying this).

Handsome Ray, Exactly! Certainly a horrible way to live especially if you were a person of color back then
