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 19:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/241604771 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243549783 They're several poems entered into a news article, written by him to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year . It motivated her because she was tired of seeing injustice for her race/friends. Claudette noticed and saw everything that happened to Jeremiah and knew there had to be change. She was the only one that had enough courage to stand up to the whites.

When Reverend Ralph Abernathy took the pulpit and said a resolution asking all citizens refrain from riding buses and said "All in favor of the motion stand" everyone in the crowd stood up. When Claudette Colvin refused it went all over the world and when  Martin Luther King Jr. heard about it, Martin Luther King Jr. made the speech. So this artifact was explaining how the blacks was being treated unfair and disrespectful so Martin Luther King Jr. made the speech for everyone to here and the segregation to stop. Martin Luther King Jr. only made that speech because he heard the news about Claudette Colvin refusing to give her seat to a white person.

In August 1955, while leaving a store, he allegedly whistled at a white store clerk and said "Bye Baby." Three night after the incident had occurred he was kidnapped from his home. Three days after the kidnapping, his body was found floating in a river, wrapped in barbed wire and grotesquely mutilated (or beat in).Two white men were later arrested but acquitted by an all-white jury.This was a very upsetting time for blacks and it was an act of intense racism.The savagery of this crime sent a chilling message to Claudette and the rest of her school. It motivated Claudette because it was an act of violence against blacks, much more an act against someone of her own age.]]> 2018-03-19 15:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243550150 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243550331 Ore artifact was Jo Ann Robinson. She affected Claudette's motivation because Claudette was affected by every other black person who was arrested on a bus for refusing to get out of their rightful seat. She was a professor of English at Alabama State college and leader of Montgomery's influential Women's Political Council which was one of the organizations that advocated for black rights. She was thrown off the bus for absentmindedly sitting in the white section even though nobody was sitting there. She was  "Smart, energetic, and extremely well connected". It shows that no matter what position blacks were in they were meant to be beneath whites in every way.]]> 2018-03-19 15:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243550331 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243550731 Rosa Parks was a woman, who 9 months after Claudette Colvin,on December 1st, 1955, refused to give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger. Rosa Parks started a 381 day Montgomery bus  boycott, which launched nationwide efforts to help end segregation in segregated states. Rosa Parks and Claudette  Colvin were tired of the segregation and they decided to take a stand against the segregation laws. They refused to give up their seats to white passengers on a Montgomery bus to make a statement that blacks and whites should be treated equally.  Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin knew that they were supposed to give up their seats but they also knew it was their constitutional right that they didn't have to give it up.]]> 2018-03-19 15:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243550731 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243551314 The bus diagram represented how segregation had spread to normal life during the Jim Crow Era. This directly represents how blacks were discriminated against back then and essentially treated as lesser human beings. At the time, this was just the social norm, and was (mostly) ignored. The reason that Claudette refused to move from her seat that day was that she legally was not forced to move from her seat if there were other seats available. This was also an unjust law and it was completely unfair. Here is a picture of the way that buses were laid out during this terrible time in our country's history.]]> 2018-03-19 15:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243551314 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243551504 A movie ticket stub was a little  piece of paper that was needed for admission to a movie theater."The movie theater was segregated for white and colored people". Blacks were not always allowed to be in the same theater all the time. There was a movie theater that was made for colored people called "Rex Theater for Colored people". Claudette Colvin did not like this, she wanted all people to be united she did not see the needs for this.  The author put this into the book because even in something that you were supposed to enjoy the colored could not because they have a worse take on it.]]> 2018-03-19 15:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243551504 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/243551603 E. D. Nixon was a employed as a railroad sleeping car porter. He worked tirelessly through his life to make black peoples life better, or more advanced. With a commanding voice and an earthy sense of humor, he seemed to know everyone including jailers, white policemen, judges, newspaper reporters, lawyers, and government officials.  He describes the horror of segregation. He motivates people like Claudette to stand there ground and understand there constitutional right to fight for there rights.

Instead, she taught us the world through world through literature. Miss Nesbitt taught Claudette about the world.

Fred gray was not much older then Claudette. At 24 years of age Fred Gray was fresh out of law school, an amateur you can say. Fred Gray was interested to take Claudette's case. Claudette admired Fred gray as the first person who she had ever met who was doing what she wanted to do. Like Claudette Fred Gray wanted to go to law school in the north then  come home to the south to defend blacks. He motivated Claudette into the segregation law movements he was the person to have her back in this case therefore influencing Claudette. This helps me understand how this artifact helps develop the story , This goes to show that Claudette admired Fred and he was a big influence on Claudettte's life.]]> 2018-03-20 14:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244063433 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244067974 Miss Geraldine Nesbitt, Claudette Colvin's teacher during the 1950's. Instead of Nesbitt teaching Claudette the English language, she taught Claudette the world through history. This helped convince Claudette what she wanted to fight for now that she was educated in her past, and how blacks were treated.]]> 2018-03-20 15:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244067974 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100351 2018-03-20 15:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100351 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100516 2018-03-20 15:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100516 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100564 2018-03-20 15:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100564 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100608 2018-03-20 15:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100608 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100634 2018-03-20 15:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100634 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100671 2018-03-20 15:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100671 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100825 2018-03-20 15:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100825 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100863 2018-03-20 15:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/244100863 https://padlet.com/lgodley/zsiqyoqkg1n/wish/246257451 This artifact is Hair products from the 1950´s.
The context that supports why this is important is the fact that most hair products slogans were to say that this product would make your hair be like a white females.This artifact proves what she had to endure, how she had to constantly see whites putting blacks down and blacks never being themselves.Instead always trying to be like white people
