Summary Of Philip Hoose's Claudette Colvin Twice Toward Justice

Philip Hoose's purpose for writing Claudette Colvin Twice Toward Justice was because he wanted people to know the truth. Most people think Rosa Parks was the first to refuse to give up her seat, but Claudette was one of the first to rebel against racial injustice. He told her story to help people learn about how the civil rights movement worked.Some of the main points in the book are when Claudette Colvin refused to get off the bus, got arrested, and she went to court and fought against racial segregation. Some of the things the author used to prove his point were quotes like, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” "I swear to the Lord I still can't see Why Democracy means Everybody but me," and "To me, God loves everyone."
