Who refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger in Montgomery Alabama?

There are 3 women who refused to give up their seats in Montgomery that year. 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.
