The article describes the courtroom, outlines the charges brought against Claudette, the ruling of Judge Hill, Fred Gray’s decision to appeal, and provides direct quotes from the hearing. This article is an example of the information many citizens of Montgomery would have had about Claudette’s actions at the time. Additionally, the article illustrates the normative nature of the segregation laws in Alabama in 1955. This artifact demonstrates that Claudette’s actions were a rebellion against the dominant system of racial segregation at the time because she was found guilty of violating segregation laws by Judge Hill. ]]> 2018-03-13 19:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/241604569 Rosa Parks by Jalyn and Marla https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243485224 Rosa Parks was a tiny woman with a big heart. She was the secretary for the Montgomery branch of the NAACP and believed in civil rights. She wasn't the first to refuse to get up but she still made a difference. She wasn't rich, she was a seamstress at a department store so she didn't make a lot of money especially compared to whites. This artifact is from the day she got arrested on December 1st. 1955 and gives a biased description of why the police arrested her. They accused her of breaking a law, but she knew she didn't so she refused to pay the fine. Rosa Parks was a role model for Claudette Colvin to never give up, even if she got arrested after Claudette, she still helped her believe she could make a change.]]> 2018-03-19 13:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243485224 The police report by Angel And Brandon asan4811 https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243485409 This is about Claudette Colvin and her police report. Claudette was sitting in a seat where the white people sit with her friend  and a white woman was standing beside Claudette and she knew Claudette knew to move behind her. The driver look up and told her ¨I needs the seats¨ rebellion was on her mind that day. She knew she had her rights and her friends got up and went to the back. the white woman still was standing up waiting for Claudette to get up and move. The driver yelled again ¨Why are you still sitting there¨  The driver came to a stop and called for a police man to make a arrest. The officer told Claudette to move and she did not move so 2 cops grabbed her by the arms and drug her off the bus.




This Police Report shows what Claudette did.]]> 2018-03-19 13:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243485409 Movie Ticket Stub. -Scarlett and Hezekiah https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243485419 This artifact is the Movie Ticket stubs from the 1950s.  You could get the stubs from football games or from the movies. This artifact contributes to Claudette Colvins motivation to refuse to give up her seat because it shows that Blacks are segregated from good movie theaters and good-quality movies, while whites get the good- quality stuff, the blacks get bad-quality movies and the poorly-built theaters. this artifact was understood as proof that they bought the ticket and they should be allowed to watch their movie of choice. This artifact was 69 cents for whites, and possibly more for blacks. this will create interest in Claudette´s story because it will show us what other things were segregated at that time.

This artifact is named Emmett Till, this artifact is a understanding of how blacks were treated.Emmett Till was born in 1941 in Chicago,when he was visiting relatives in Mississippi, in 1955 when the fourteen-year-old was accused of whistling at Carolyn Bryant, a white woman who was a cashier at a grocery store an said 'bye  baby'. Three days later Emmett Till was found  floating the the river dead with barbed wire wrapped around him. It helps with the Caludette's cases because it showed how the whites lie and that they aren't always the good people.
It just shows how bad society was back then that blacks could not even wistle at whites but when whites wistled at blacks as much as they wanted to the whites were like making life hard for blacks and every day was a struggle for blacks.

All this became important in the 1950's, but some products wouldn't work on some girls (pg 22)" she said that Claudette hair wouldn't stay straight or flat no matter how long she pressed it and her skin color was very dark so that made her different'')
I don't really think she had a motivation because she said on whatever she tried her hair wound not get straight and she got called " nappy head" and she felt bad about her self on (page 22") i heard the word nappy i started crying because she knew how much she wanted to fit in and it had not worked at all. and she also said they had hated there self because they had put down alot of stuff all the time . also on page 22."ttps://vintagedancer.com/1920s/1920s-mens-hairstyles-and-products-history/

Miss Geraldine Nesbitt was one of Claudette"s favorite teacher (page 26). She always dressed sharp and looked like a saleslady (page 26)." She grew up in Montgomery and went to Alabama state college, but she had a masters degree education from Columbia university in New York "(page 26). She had used literature to teach life (page 26). Miss Nesbitt made them see that they had history 
(page 27). She wanted everybody to feel the same, she thought nobody should be left out or treated differently  (page 28). She wanted them to love the color that they were (page 28). This artifact adds to my understanding of Claudette Colvins motivations by Miss Nesbitt and Miss Lawrence team taught negro History week (page 29). They spent the whole February talking about injustices the black people suffered everyday in Montgomery (page 29). Miss Nesbitt inspired Claudette to stand up for herself and to do what's right. (page 29). This all mostly happened in the 1950's. (there is no pictures of Miss Nesbitt I looked up newspapers and articles about her and nothing was found).]]> 2018-03-19 14:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243519248 https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243519530 2018-03-19 14:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243519530 Assorted Hair Products...Sha'Dajiah Brown https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243753084 This artifact is about how blacks want there hair to be like whites so they could fit in (pg22).I can tell that Claudette said whatever she tried or did it wouldn't fit or work and whatever she did about her hair it didn't work regardless because her hair would not become straight or flat (pg21,22). on page 22 I think she didn't get motivated she just felt disappointed about it because it stated that N- haired and it had meant nappy haired I think she also said when she had heard that word "she would just cry so this is not helping her or motivating her it making her feel bad about her self or less basically............and she also said when girls did certain thing and boys said things it b=made her hurt even more but when boys did it ,it had hurt a lot.so she was trynna please both genders to be just like them and fit in. but what had made it worse is when they had got judge about skin and how they hair was that had made them not win certain things like queen and king they would stay separated....... so moral of the story is that that colored and hair would effect them a lot in school and out of school because they was not light skin and didn't fit in with the big crew or light skin girls they would feel like a outcast something small to our time but big back then in there time]]> 2018-03-19 20:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/a4kwt6vkotxy/wish/243753084 Martin Luther King jr.

The context I can provide is it was bought for a child . It was a colored theatre . It also showed how many taxes they charge. The stub shows ow much it cost. It adds to mu understanding because  blacks and whites had separate everything such as ( movie theatre´s , bathrooms , buses , etc ) . Claudette wanted blacks to be equal and not separate.
