Today marks the 84th birthday of civil rights icon Claudette Colvin, who, at the age of 15, refused to yield her seat on a bus to a white person, a defiant act that occurred nine months before Rosa Parks' similar stand. After advocating for the expungement of her juvenile record, it was only recently that Claudette Colvin's legal record was ultimately cleared.
