Claudette Colvin was not arrested during her act of defiance on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 2, 1955, because after she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger, she was forcibly removed by police but was not formally arrested at that moment. However, she was later taken into custody and charged with several offenses, including assault and disorderly conduct. Her case was significant in the Civil Rights Movement, as it occurred nine months before Rosa Parks' more widely recognized protest.
