Claudette Colvin Day National Celebration March 2nd


Happy Women’s History Month!

Tomorrow March 2nd is Claudette Colvin Day in several states so far. It will be celebrated nationally for the first time. Leaders from different states including the mayor of Montgomery are scheduled to speak during the zoom celebrations tomorrow. Honorable Colvin’s story has been gaining national and international popularity in recent years due to the efforts of some individual admirers such as Peter Rogina, Edna Thomas-Granger, Assemblyman Jose Rivera, Mr. Andy King, Jennifer Lackard, Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr., late Beverly Robert, John Perez, Aixa Rodrigues and many other admirers in Alabama, New York, Georgia and New Jersey.
Those who are interested in participating in the celebrations tomorrow here it is.
