What black woman refuse to give up her seat to a white man?
There are 3 women before Rosa. Irene Morgan, in 1944 on a Greyhound bus, refused to give up her seat, tore up the ticket and kicked the deputy in the groin. That was 11 years before Rosa and the case was argued by Thurgood Marshal in "Morgan v. Commonwealth of Virginia". The Southern states refused to abide by the decision. Claudette Colvin was the first black girl (she was 15 and had just written a school paper about prohibitions on black people trying on clothing in the 'white' section of a department store) to refuse to get up when told she had to. She was arrested and hauled off the bus 9 months before Rosa. She was raped and got pregnant so, in an incident of victim blaming, was denied her chance at being the poster girl for civil rights. Mary Louise Smith was 18 when she refused to give up her seat and was arrested. She was jailed and fined $9, it was paid by her father. He had a drinking problem so the NAACP passed her up as the poster girl for civil rights. Rosa, as a secretary for the NAACP, was involved raising money for Claudett's defense 8 months earlier. She was a devout woman and had no dirty laundry in her closet. She was the perfect candidate to advance the bus seating protest.
