An activist and pioneer in the civil rights movement. A name that we should know as well as we know Rosa Parks. As Claudette also refused to give up her seat to a white patron on a bus; she was arrested and would go on to be one of the four plaintiffs in the Browder vs. Gayle case arguing that the segregation laws in Montgomery were unconstitutional. While she is not widely recognized or known for her efforts her resistance helped advance the civil rights movement in Montgomery which would ultimately go on to change the trajectory of segregation in the south.
