for the people too lazy to look up Colvin on Wikipedia:

She was an unmarried teenager at the time who was pregnant.[4][5] Colvin has said, "Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn't the case at all."[6][7] Although she was not pregnant at the time, Claudette’s case was still dropped by the civil rights campaigners, but it became widely accepted that she was not accredited by the civil rights campaigners at the time due to that notion, with even Rosa Parks saying "If the white press got ahold of that information, they would have [had] a field day. They'd call her a bad girl, and her case wouldn't have a chance."

Claudette Colvin

Nowadays, she would be the greater heroine than Rosa Parks, because nothing is more empowering than a never-wed single mother.
