Recognizing March 2, 2025, as the 70th anniversary of Claudette Colvin's refusal to give up her bus seat
HR 96 is a resolution designating March 2, 2025, as the 70th anniversary of Claudette Colvin's refusal to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 2, 1955. It honors her role in the civil rights movement, including her arrest at age 15 and her pivotal testimony in the landmark case *Browder v. Gayle*, which led to the Supreme Court ruling ending bus segregation. The resolution also acknowledges her 2021 expungement of her juvenile record after 66 years. This is a commemorative resolution with no policy changes or direct effects on legislation.
