Honoring the life and courage of Claudette Colvin.

Bill 117 H.Res. 944, also known as the "Honoring the life and courage of Claudette Colvin" resolution, was introduced in the US Congress to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Claudette Colvin to the civil rights movement.

Claudette Colvin was a young African American woman who, at the age of 15, refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before Rosa Parks famously did the same. Despite facing arrest and discrimination, Colvin's act of defiance helped spark the Montgomery Bus Boycott and played a significant role in the fight against racial segregation in the United States.

The resolution acknowledges Colvin's bravery and courage in standing up against injustice, and honors her legacy as a trailblazer in the civil rights movement. It also calls on all Americans to remember and learn from Colvin's story, and to continue working towards equality and justice for all. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 944 serves as a tribute to Claudette Colvin's important role in the fight for civil rights and as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality in the United States.
