Claudette Colvin: I Want Freedom Now! (HC)

From an early age, Claudette Colvin had had enough of racism and segregation. At fifteen she challenged the status quo and refused to get up from her bus seat when a white bus driver directed her to move for a white woman. She was arrested and sued the bus company, eventually winning the case Browder v. Gayle, making it illegal to segregate buses in Alabama. An inspiring biography of a moment in time where a young girl chose to make a difference.   

Written by Claudette Colvin and Phillip Hoose. Illustrated by Bea Jackson. 

Hardcover (English). Recommended for Ages: 4-8 years.
