Claudette Colvin, death mourned
This resolution honors Claudette Colvin's civil rights legacy and mourns her death, recognizing her 1955 bus protest (nine months before Rosa Parks' arrest) that helped end Alabama bus segregation through the *Browder v. Gayle* Supreme Court case. It celebrates her life, her recent record clearance after 66 years (expunging her juvenile arrest), and her later work inspiring youth through her foundation. The resolution is a formal tribute passed by Alabama's House of Representatives to honor her contributions.
