Claudette Colvin's case did not go to court primarily because civil rights leaders believed it lacked the necessary support for a successful legal challenge. At the time, Colvin was a 15-year-old Black girl who refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, months before Rosa Parks' more widely publicized protest. Additionally, her age, circumstances, and the fact that she became pregnant shortly after the incident led some activists to view her as a less favorable figure to represent the movement. Ultimately, they chose to focus on Parks' case, which garnered broader public support.
Colvin Hinton was paroled in October 2022 after serving time for his involvement in a 1998 robbery and murder case in New Jersey. His release followed a lengthy legal process and advocacy for clemency based on claims of innocence and issues surrounding his trial. Hinton's case garnered attention due to concerns about wrongful convictions and the criminal justice system.
Court cases are a public record - anyone can look at them (unless the case is currently active). Go to the Clerk of the Court's office at the courthouse and reqeust to look at the case file.
Your State Court or Federal court have jurisdiction to hear the case of medical negligence.
File a motion with the court requesting it.

She became pregnant and was unwed.
Claudette Colvin was the first African-American (Black Person) to start the bus boycott. She refused to give up her seat for a white person because it was her constitutional right. 9 Months Later Rosa Parks got arrested for the same thing but her case was well known today.
because he said that they did not know what they were going to do with it and they were putting her family at risk
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.
Sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks and 5 other unknown women at the time who were Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Mary Louise Smith and Susie McDonald, on 1 December 1955, and the Montgomery bus boycott was a 13-month mass protest that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional.

She was involved in the "movement". Claudette Colvin was the first person arrested for resisting bus segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, preceding the more publicized Rosa Parks and she was among the five women originally included in the federal court case, filed on February 1, 1956 as Browder v. Gayle, and testified before the three-judge panel that heard the case in the United States District Court. She was only 15 years old were Rosa was 42 at the time of her case. The other women were, Aurelia Browder, Mary Louise Smith and Susie McDonald. At the time of the occurrences on the buses, the leader of the movement didn't know that some women were being breaking the segregation laws to make their cases heard. In about 9 months later Martin Luther king jump out in the next case which was the Rosa Park's case.
The two women who refused to give up their seats on Montgomery, Alabama buses before Rosa Parks were Claudette Colvin and Mary Louise Smith. Colvin became pregnant in the months after her arrest and Smith's father was rumored to be alcoholic.Predating those those Montgomery incidents were the cases of Irene Morgan, arrested in 1944 for refusing to give up a seat on a Greyhound bus in Virginia, and Sarah Mae Flemming, arrested in 1954 for sitting in a white person's seat on a local bus in Columbia, South Carolina. Flemming's case, which was heard twice in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and dismissed without hearing by the Supreme Court in 1956, was used as a precedent in Parks' case.
the civil right modifieres, because they didnt have shipbulding !
You can sue someone no matter what, but the thing is whether or not you will win the case in court. If you don't think you would win the court case if you sued someone, I don't suggest sueing.

No it was not a supreme court case, but a state case because it was held in the local court
