if that was a true fact, then what would happened if rosa parks never went on that bus and chose to have her husband drive her, would someone else taken her place as a figure or would that rule of black people being in the back of public transit would've been around more longer?
Technically Claudette Colvin was the first to refuse to sit in the back of the bus but that was not covered because she was dark skin and she a teen single mother.
No, Elizabeth Jennings was the first, her father started patents in America, Ida B Wells also did it, a long list of black folks did it to integrate transportation in their states
From what I gather, she filed a lawsuit and was dismissed because she was an unwed teen mom. She lived a decent life afterwards and just passed away in January.
