At age 15, Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a crowded Montgomery bus, defying segregation laws in March 1955.

Her arrest prompted increased activism that culminated in the Montgomery bus boycott following Rosa Parks’ December arrest.

Colvin, Smith, and others became plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle, the 1956 federal case that declared bus segregation unconstitutional.

Both women later received recognition for their vital roles in advancing civil rights after decades of relative obscurity.

There had always been segregation, and there always has been segregation, and so much segregation is still going on. It’s hard to bring people together. We’re just not united. We’re not together. There is not enough love between people.
— Mary Louise Smith-Ware reflects on the ongoing segregation and the challenges of unity in society.
