Claudette Colvin

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I no idea that there was someone before Rosa Parks that made history with issue of segregation. I actually began to feel very mad and angry while reading the book. I hate that we had a time in our history that such things existed between two races. I can't believe that was only 50-60 years ago! I feel like we've come a long way against segregation, but I still think we still have a ways to go! The book was very easy to read. The story was told through a timeline and was easy to follow. I like how the author jumped between Claudette's voice and his own voice. One of my favorite genres is historical fiction/non-fiction. This book would be great if it was turned into a movie. At least some type of documentary to show to students in school. I wonder how many other people that have been forgotten about that may have took a stand against prejudice. Claudette was a very strong and courageous person.
