Website Adler, Margot, and Phillip Hoose. "Before Rosa Parks, There Was Claudette Colvin." NPR. NPR, 17 Mar. 2009. Web. 10 Jan. 2014. <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101719889>. This is a primary source mixed with some secondary source because the first few paragraphs explained who Claudette Colvin was and what she did in general. She stood up for her rights to stay seated on a bus on March 2, 1955. The second portion was words of Claudette Colvin. Here, she explained her feelings and emotion when she was getting arrested. It shows how a fifteen year old girl had much courage to stand up for her constitutional rights and for other African Americans' rights on the Montgomery bus. All this information helped us on how the boycott started and the connection of Rosa Parks. We used this information on the page, "Start of the Boycott". "African American Pamphlets Home Page."
