Judge wipes clean record of black woman arrested for refusing to move to the back of a segregated Alabama bus in 1955 - nine months before Rosa Parks did the same
A judge granted the request by Claudette Colvin, now 82, in a brief court order made public Thursday by a family representative. Parks, a 42-year-old seamstress and activist with the NAACP, gained worldwide notice after refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man on December 1, 1955. But months before that, a pregnant 15-year-old Colvin had also refused to give up her seat for a white teenager when in a Montgomery, Alabama bus.
