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 19:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/241604851 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243550828 By: Jada and Aaron
My artifact is the police report.The police report showed that police during the Jim Crow time period over exaggerated the actions of the victims. Such as when the officer said Claudette kicked him and scratched him .  A police report is a physical record of an incident deemed to be illegal or potentially illegal. It is written by the official involved in the incident, so it is easy to lie on them because they didn't have cameras back then.  The significance of this artifact is to show us how they lied on Claudette, to make it seem she tried to harm them.It tells us what happened even though the police lied in the report it still shows what occurred, when it happened and everything. This shows her motivations by showing what happened during to her. My picture was found on: https://rediscovering-black-history.blogs.archives.gov/2015/12/01/60th-anniversary-of-the-montgomery-bus-boycott/]]> 2018-03-19 15:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243550828 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243550917 This artifact is a 1950's movie ticket.
It adds to our understanding Of Claudette's motives Because she was tired of having to pay double for items. She was also tired of just being treated in an unequal manner. This made her want to fight for her rights and she did. This ticket is probably the price whites had to pay but blacks had to pay twice as much for the same movie. But probably lower quality. This also helps by letting us know what Tickets back then looked like compared to now and lets us know how much money has changed. ]]> 2018-03-19 15:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243550917 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243551329 Our artifact is a diagram of a bus in the 1950's. 
The context is that the bus in the 1950's separated the black's and the white's throughout the bus. The picture shows how the bus was laid out. This artifact adds to my understanding of Claudette's motivations by having how the bus was laid out and it also shows how there were little seats in the back so some blacks had to sit in the front but then they would get in trouble for seating in the front because a white person wanted to sit in the seat they were sitting in.

A hot comb is a hair product that is used to straiten black peoples hair in the 1950s. It was created in 1872 by parisian francois marcel grateau. This was one of the things that gave her motivation to not give up her seat.  Other products also helped her such as pressing oil, hair treating oil and hair dressing pomade.]]> 2018-03-19 15:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243551787 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243552050 2018-03-19 15:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243552050 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243552432 1. The artifact is the hair products the hair products the white people wanted the black people to use .
2.'' It means that the white people wanted the blacks to have straight and silky hair like them.Whites was saying blacks wasn't good enough and whites said that they was better than blacks and they wanted them not to be themselvs. they wanted blacks to be like them. it was like they was trying to persuade them to have there hair straighten.
3.Cause she wanted to be diffrent and unique and she finally rellized that straightening  your hair isn't gonna change a thing. White people kept picking at her hair because it was in cornrolls and they didnt like it cause her hair wasn;t straight and silky like theres. 
it wansnt straighten so therefore they didnt like it.]]> 2018-03-19 15:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243552432 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243553385 The artifact is Emmett Till. This is a gruesome story about how blacks were treated. Emmett Till was leaving a store and he supposedly whistled at the white cashier "bye baby". Then she went and told her husband who then kidnapped him and beat him then threw his lifeless body covered in barbwire in the river. They found him like a week later and his face was hardly recognizable. They only identified him by the ring his father gave him with his initals. This helps us understand more because of the hardships and how gruesome the whites were to the blacks based on color and believes white over black.

Jeremiah Reeve's was put in jail for breaking into a house and raping a white housewife,he was 16 years old. On page 24 there is a picture of some poems Jeremiah wrote in jail in the 1950's one of his poems was named "Chapel in Woods" this is a little of the poem "It was a plain and simple chapel, where people would often gather to pray...... where we would gather to cry and sing praises to our god." Jeremiah Reeves was a very smart and admired black teenager in Claudette's neighborhood and school. Everyone knew that Jeremiah Reeves was going to make an impact in his life. Claudette was very angry to hear that Jeremiah was put in jail and she did everything she could to raise money to get him out.This impact made Claudette very angry and made her want to take a stand for all African Americans.]]> 2018-03-19 15:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243553951 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243554151 This artifact is Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks she refused to get out of her seat to a white passenger on an segregated Montgomery, Alabama bus, which spurred on the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott. It helped launch nationwide efforts to end segregation of public facilities . This helps understand Claudette Colvin's  motivations because she can relate to her actions in the same way because they refused to get out of her seat for a white passenger.

They made it for white men and women and ebony gir ls. Black women would try to straighten there hair to look white. Claudette Colvin used hair products to make her hair look straighten. People would think she white because of her hair .The hair products were mean't for only white's .]]> 2018-03-19 15:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243557524 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243559010 https://marriagering.club/love/the-real-rosa-park-accomplishments.html
This artifact is about Rosa Parks. The artifacts I can provide for this is that they made her get off the bus because she did not walk off her self. she thought schools about segregation.  This adds to my understanding about  claudette  Colvins motivations by telling me how that time was and how they where  to be treated. It also tells me how they acted.]]> 2018-03-19 15:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243559010 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243560672 Movie tickets back then where 1 dollar but a dollar was a lot and went a long way. 
The artifact is the movie ticket. The ticket was for $1 and the ticket was for a blacks only movie theatre, a dollar was a lot back then in 1950 and a dollar could go a long way back then such as buy some food and a drink. The movie theater was called The Rex movie theatre for colored only and children was 15 cent and adults cost a dollar. I understood how whites made it so much more expensive for a black family to watch a movie, and I understood what claudette colvin was trying to do.]]> 2018-03-19 15:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243560672 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243567031 This artifact is about Martin Luther King Jr. He was very important because of the American civil rights movement,which worked for equal rights and made blacks and whites come together. It is similar too claudette because they both fought for equals rights too make blacks and whites come together. Martin Luther King Jr gave all his heart too try to make equal rights for blacks.]]> 2018-03-19 15:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243567031 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243571688 2018-03-19 15:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/243571688 https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/1345055182 2021-03-23 20:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/ubsjklksb348/wish/1345055182
