Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip Hoose (Paperback)

Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip Hoose is a National Book Award winner and Newbery Honor book. Before Rosa Parks, there was fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin. On March 2, 1955, fed up with the daily injustices of Jim Crow segregation, she refused to give up her seat to a white woman on a segregated bus. This in-depth account of an important yet largely unknown civil rights figure is an inspiring read for teens and adults.
