Black Historian
As someone who has spent years reading, teaching, and reflecting on history, I’m always struck by how often courage appears before it is recognized. Today, I was reminded of Claudette Colvin—a 15-year-old Black student who, in 1955, refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus. This was nine months before Rosa Parks.
Colvin’s action wasn’t loud or celebrated at the time. It was the quiet bravery of a teenager who simply knew what was wrong and chose not to move. Her decision later became part of the legal foundation that helped end bus segregation in America. Yet, for decades, her name rarely appeared in textbooks.
History is not just shaped by the figures we remember, but also by those we overlook. When we revisit these stories, we don’t rewrite the past—we complete it.
