She Persisted: Claudette Colvin

Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, this chapter book biography by Lesa Cline-Ransome tells the story of Claudette Colvin, a young woman who, before Rosa Parks, refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, fighting for equality and justice. Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, the book includes black-and-white illustrations and a list of ways to make a difference, following Colvin's footsteps. It's part of the She Persisted series, which features other women who stood up for their rights, including Harriet Tubman and Oprah Winfrey.
