The Scottsboro Boys were nine black teenagers falsely accused of raping two white women on a train in 1931. Their trials are used as examples of the miscarriage of justice, particularly since all white juries were used. Even though there was evidence that they had not committed a crime and one of the women recanted her testimony, the jury convicted them. Several more iterations, with different judges in Alabama, took place. An appeal to the Supreme Court (Powell vs Alabama) ruled that African Americans had to be included on juries, and that the defendents rights had been disregarded and retrials were ordered. Charges were finally dropped for four of the nine defendants. Sentences for the rest ranged from 75 years to death.

He was an admiral in the US Navy during the Civil War. While he made numerous mistakes, and did a number of extremely stupid things, in three cases, he excelled magnificently. Early in the war, he succeeded in coming up the Mississippi River and destroying the defenses of New Orleans, a feat considered impossible. Later, he joined Grant's army in the Battle of Vicksburg and used naval canon to prevent General Joe Johnson from waging a successful counter attack against Grant's forces while Grant set up his siege. Finally, he captured the town of Mobile sailing through a passageway all other admirals considered hopeless. He did it by going as fast as his ships would go so the enemy could not aim their canon. There he said, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." The port of navigable rivers go to the port of Mobile from Rome Georgia and near the north part of the state of Mississippi.

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.
