    Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Mary L. Smith & Susie McDonald are the Heroes & not Rosa Parks

     

    Claudette Colvin and three other women -- Aurelia Browder, Mary Louise Smith and Susie McDonald  are the heroes and not Rosa Parks.

    Once again, much, much, much less than truthful President Barack Obama, so called Civil Rights Leaders, and other government officials fail to give credit where it is due, credit not due Rosa Parks.

    Before Rosa Parks, another woman defied segregation” by Michelle Miller, CBS News

    President Obama at unveiling of Rosa Parks statue on Feb. 27, 2013.

    (CBS News) NEW YORK - The president and congressional leaders Wednesday unveiled a statue of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, the first black woman so honored in Statuary Hall. She is seated in tribute to her refusal to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, as the law then required. But there is also an unsung hero in this story, and we caught up with her.

    Claudette Colvin was just 15 when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. It was nine months before Rosa Parks' act of defiance in 1955.

    "[The bus driver said], 'Give me those seats,'" Colvin recalled. "Three of the girls got up and moved. But I remained seated."

    Colvin said she drew her strength from African-American abolitionists she had just learned about in school.

    "It felt like Harriet Tubman was pushing me down on one shoulder," she said, "and Sojourner Truth was pushing me down on the other. They put me in the patrol car."

    Colvin's arrest and conviction caught the attention of community activists looking for a case to challenge segregation laws in court. Rosa Parks was the secretary of a local civil rights organization and took Colvin under her wing.

    Before Rosa Parks, Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat in a segregated bus in Alabama when she was 15 years old.

    "She thought I was this overgrown teenager that sassed white people," Colvin said. "She realized that I really was intellectually mature enough to know right from wrong."

    But ultimately Parks, a seamstress with a spotless reputation, was chosen to be the face of the boycott. Leaders believed that Parks would garner strong public support unlike Colvin, who'd become pregnant.

    Is Colvin sorry she wasn't picked? "No," she said. "I'm glad that they picked Mrs. Parks because I wanted that bus boycott to be 100 percent successful."

    Parks continued to help lead the Montgomery bus boycott. But it was the federal lawsuit filed by Colvin and three other women -- Aurelia Browder, Mary Louise Smith and Susie McDonald -- that resulted in a landmark Supreme Court decision. That ruling in 1956 outlawed segregation on public transportation.

    "There were many African Americans," said Colvin, "many, many stories similar to my story."

    Stories of courage in America's march for justice.

    RE: “Thanks to Bloomberg Money, Robin Kelly Wins Democratic Nomination for Jesse Jackson’s Old Seat

    If 2nd District Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly does nothing more, and nothing less than respecting the “oath of office”, the Constitution, and the duty to be ethical, she will be “light years” ahead of President Barack "the Magic Negro/Illegal Alien Bootlicking/despot" Obama, the felon former Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., multiple members of the Congressional Black Clueless....AKA....The Congressional Black Caucus, and other elected black leaders at the State, County, and City jurisdictional levels of government.

    Theft by Court contains documented evidence of the first time since the Emancipation Proclamation that a black citizen has held anyone accountable to the laws of this country for violating the Constitutional rights of a descendant of American slaves.

    "Character is doing what's right -- when no one is looking." by former Congressman J.C. Watts.

    It is shameful that far too many elected officials, especially those who hold office in the black community place very little or no significance in the above statement by former Congressman J.C. Watts.

    Selected Comment:

    “I am so ashamed to be black these days for the first time in my life. You are so right. And to add to the shame, CBS news reported that Rosa Parks is NO HERO and yet Obama continued the lie even after he must have known it!!!!

    CBS interviewed the real hero who wouldn’t give up her seat, and she was a very dark skinned black woman, who had her honorary spot and everything that goes with it, STOLEN from her by light skinned Rosa Parks!!! Scott Pelley reported it.
    How can anyone just sit there a lifetime and take all that glory and honor, and not even confess even on her death bed that she was no hero, and added to that I remember when Rosa Parks was upset with the great Andre 3000 for using her name in a song. He retired soon after that.

    HOW CAN THIS OLD NEGRO TRASH BE SO BLATANTLY EVIL, AND END UP WITH RECOGNITION FOR BEING GREAT LEADERS???? OUR MOST HONEST, ETHICAL, AND INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ARE SHUNTED TO THE SIDELINES IN FAVOR OF LOAD MOUTHED TRASH WHO SELF PROMOTE THEMSELVES AS LEADERS!!! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPNEING???? ROSA PARKS WAS A THIEF!” by Denise

    -Denise,

    You made my day.

    “……..I am so ashamed to be black these days for the first time in my life. You are so right.”

    Would it be OK if I rephrase your statement, because I truly believe that you would rather say…..

    I intend to keep plenty of distance between myself and dysfunctional/unethical individuals, no matter who these individuals are, be it Black, Caucasian, Hispanic, Korean, or otherwise. I will not vote for, and I will make it my business to vote this garbage out of office. I refuse to honor, give praise to, or make heroes of dysfunctional/unethical/treasonous/un-American individuals

    Be proud of your blackness. Don’t shoulder the shame of any of these misfits, because you have nothing to be ashamed of. Unlike the unethical/sleazy/treasonous/disgraceful from within our community, you have yet to stoop to and have no interest in following in their footsteps.

    http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-892237

    It just so happens that the very black people who fit the description as you and I have described shame themselves and trash their own credentials to the power of infinity.

    Thank you for not following in the footsteps that far too many individuals in the black community are guilty of, who make heroes out of misfits and trash or talk down to ethical and law abiding individuals truly worthy of praise.

    http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-913186

    With good reason, I didn’t vote for no good talking down to U.S. born blacks President Barack “the Magic Negro/illegal alien bootlicking/Chicago Cut Throat” Obama in 2008 nor 2012.

    During the Barack Obama segment of CNN’s “Black in America”, it was shown where Black kids were eating and breathing asbestos. Black residents complained, and an asbestos abatement crew arrived to remove asbestos from building management’s front office, leaving the rest of the Black residents to suffer. It is common knowledge as to the harmful permanent lung damaging and cancer causing agents associated with breathing asbestos fibers. CNN basically made it plain to any viewer that so-called attorney Barack Obama…former Senator Barack Obama….now President Barack Obama walked away from this serious asbestos health related set of incidents, to do nothing.

    Some community organizer, civil rights lawyer, or indeed truly incompetent elected official this guy must be. Barack Obama was more concerned about his own claim to fame and not the best interests of any Black community.

    It is what a graduate or individual does in real life, be it university educated or otherwise to prove competency that matters, and not a university degree or sheepskin.

    President Obama, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, multiple members of the Congressional Black Caucus, other elected black leaders at the State, County, and City jurisdictions of government are truly dysfunctional.

    Barack Obama went on to Harvard Law School, graduated from Harvard Law School, returning to South Side of Chicago to do more of the same, meaning to do nothing, other than to use the plight of poor residents of the South Side Chicago Black community to promote himself to elected office. He has yet to practice law to use his expertise to file claims against the perpetrators for wrongful death, violation of property rights, violation of Constitutional rights, asbestos claims for damages, etc., in behalf of any truly innocent Black man, woman, or child victimized by the serious violation of law or health violations of any perpetrator.

    The true heroes of any community don’t need the praise of the media, don’t need a pat on the back or to look forward to praise from any Caucasian, or otherwise, don’t need to brag about the possession of any Harvard University law degree, doctorate degree, and/or other prestigious award, because their deeds to do the right thing to protect the best interests of the community, the black community in this instance, stand tall on its’ own merit.

    Although a glass ceiling exists for Black people to move forward in any outside community, there is no glass ceiling for any qualified Black man, woman, or child who strives to use their expertise to protect the best interest of the Black community.

    “….Now we got to matriculate into controlling the contracts that are awarded to the businesses in the poor and blighted communities- that have a high concentration of minorities- primarily those of African descent– unfortunately we are. the ones who historically been looked over and under.” by Phillip Battle

    The black community is also being dismissed, being historically looked over and under, betrayed, etc., etc., by President Barack “the Magic Negro/illegal alien bootlicking” Obama and other elected black leaders at the Federal, State, and County jurisdictions of government.

    The black community is promoting its’ own demise by continuously voting for elected officials who have contempt for the Constitution, the oath of office, and the rule of law, which believe it or not also includes President Barack, multiple members of the Congressional Black Clueless….AKA….the Congressional Black Caucus and other elected officials or public servants who are a disgrace to the essence of what it means to be an elected official.

    It is shameful that far too many elected officials, especially those who hold office in black America-the freest nation on earth,  place very little or no significance on the Constitution and laws when citizens over whom they exercise jurisdiction are violated.
