Montgomery, Alabama 1955. Fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin is tired. Tired of white people thinking they're better than her. Tired of going to separate schools and separate bathrooms. Most of all, she's tired of having to give up her seat on the bus whenever a white person tells her to. She wants freedom NOW! But what can one teenage girl do? So, on a bus ride home from school one day, young Claudette takes a stand for justice and refuses to get up from her seat for a white passenger. What follows will not only transform Claudette's life but the course of history itself.
