She was raged with the acts around her by whites. She and her friends were on a bus one day when a lady came on board and wanted her seat. Claudette refused and got into a lot of trouble but she was proud. Many people around her saw this and wanted to do the same and more movements against the laws were held]]> 2018-03-06 16:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238710817 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238711596 She started being more involved with injustice when they started learning about the laws in class. She noticed her rights and how bad the whites had been treating colored. She wanted to change how they treated them so she decided to do something about it. How they made blacks go to the back or stand up on buses wasn't right. Her experiences on the bus made her think about and realize how much her life mattered too and that it wasn't right according to her rights. ]]> 2018-03-06 16:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238711596 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238712116 Even from a young age, Claudette has been told to stay away from whites. As she aged, she viewed more and more injustice. After the conviction of Jeremiah Reeves, a student at her school, she began to voice her opinions more. She then learned about the constitution with one of her teachers, Miss Nesbitt. This inspired her to finally do something about the injustices her people faced. She refused to stand on the bus for a white woman. She was then arrested. The police officers treated her terribly. Although she was arrested, her actions inspired many. Her family and friends are proud of her, as well as the rest of the community.

She knew that most of the blacks were innocent and were forced to confess to the crime they were accused of. She was a good friend of Jeremiah's, before he was accused of something he didn't he do, in fact they didn't live too far away from each other. Claudette knew she had to do something about it. There had to be change and it was needed fast.]]> 2018-03-06 16:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238712151 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238712924 A lot has made Claudette lead up to rebellious act.She has witnessed racism in her own eyes.Its unfair how blacks were treated and the acts to the black community.There were multiple examples of racism to her face.

She witnessed an innocent high school student be put on death row and she advocated for his freedom. She also receives a new teacher who teaches her that her life and the lives of all blacks mean something. She raises money for the the high school boy's lawyers and she learns more and more about the rich history of black people and she learns her rights. This changes her into a knowledgeable young woman who advocates for black people's rights in a time when black people were treated terribly. This is Claudette's transformation.  ]]> 2018-03-06 16:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238713123 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238713972 Claudette Colvin's example of not willing to giving up here seat on the bus for a white woman and going to jail made the blacks in her neighborhood proud of her, they stayed up that night to protect her from any whites that tried to come to harm/kill her. At that time in the south if blacks were to stand up to whites or refused to do something the they would be punished, almost always by death (lynching). She was trying to change the rules of injustice for blacks throughout all of Montgomery, Alabama and help to make blacks and whites equal. After a debate, with of vote 9-0 , whites and blacks were allowed into the same school. Blacks and whites were slowly starting to become equal and some whites didn't like that.

Claudette´s view on the Jim Crow Laws changed dramatically when Jeremiah Reeves was arrested and later killed after he confessed to raping a white woman. Claudette thought this was unfair that when whites raped black there was no justice much less death so there was an outrage most blacks in Alabama were very upset]]> 2018-03-06 16:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238715155 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238715370 Claudette was born knowing she couldn't touch whites or interact with whites. She was a quiet girl who didn't understand what was going on. But she became older and started to understand the world. She started to put her voice out there. She wanted to fight for her justice. She transformed from a quiet little girl who was a coward, to a older girl who was loud and confident.]]> 2018-03-06 16:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238715370 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238715393 Claudette was tired of all the injustice blacks were getting. All of this injustice transformed Claudette into   someone who wanted to fight for the rights that blacks had but were denied of getting. One of the main reasons for this change in Claudette was when Jeremiah Reeves was punished unfairly.  Miss Nesbitt taught Claudette that black's had all the same rights as white's they just were not treated fairly. Her transformation soon turned into a protest on the bus that got her arrested but, it made the black community proud that she was taking a stand for black peoples rights. ]]> 2018-03-06 16:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238715393 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238718518 When she refused to give up her seat that changed a lot of stuff back then.After that she got bailed by Reverend H.H. Johnson and then they headed home. When she got home she got hugs from everyone in the neighborhood.That night no one went to sleep they had their guns loaded and they  were sitting down near the door with the gun beside them till the next morning.]]> 2018-03-06 16:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238718518 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/238719311 It changed society on how it should be. It ruined millions of lives in the U.S.A. Others tried to stop it but later got killed or arrested. Whites thought they ere overruling and were under them. But Claudette knew that things were gonna get worse so she decided to take a stand everyone knew that changed the Jim Crow Laws.

was arrested and charged with rape on a white housewife. Jeremiah Reeves confessed to the crime. Police quickly expanded the charges and claimed he was responsible for raping six other  white women. Jeremiah was sentenced by the jury to death . Blacks where outraged including Claudette. She stated"Jeremiah's arrest was the turning point of my life .Once  Jeremiah died  Claudette became more invested in the civil rights  movement. The hypocrisy of it made Claudette very angry as stated on pg 25. From here on out Claudette thought about civil rights differently. Claudette was still Furious about Jeremiah Reeves plight when on the first day of her sophomore year she met someone who gave her the confidence to transform her anger into action.this was the start to her so called transformation.

This lead her to hate  segregation and discrimination. When she was only 13 her little sister Delphine died from the illness polio. This made her want to fight more, fight for her sisters rights. When she was 15, her and her schoolmates were riding the city bus home from school when she experienced another terrible act of injustice. A white lady had boarded the  bus demanding a seat. Sadly, Claudette and her four classmates were all forced to get up for that one white woman to sit down, because a white person did not want to sit in the same row as a black, because most whites thought that they were better then blacks just based on their skin color. Once Claudette refused to give her seat up to a white woman, the bus driver demanded her to get up from the front. Claudette still refused, which made the driver furious. He started screaming harsh rude things to Claudette, the driver then went to the next bus stop to get two white cops who eventually arrested her(Claudette).  She was the first black woman or black person to plead not guilty. This was her experiences with injustice that lead to her transformation. ]]> 2018-03-14 16:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/241986137 davidb493 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zbpugsxl7n94/wish/1151337528 Even from a young age, Claudette has been told to stay away from whites.
