SJR 10 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Claudette Colvin, death mourned

This is a commemorative resolution (SJR 10) honoring Claudette Colvin, a Montgomery, Alabama, civil rights activist. It formally records the Alabama legislature's mourning of her death while celebrating her life and legacy, particularly her 1955 refusal to give up her bus seat - nine months before Rosa Parks' similar act - which led to the landmark *Browder v. Gayle* Supreme Court case ending bus segregation. The resolution highlights her later recognition, including a 2021 expungement of her juvenile arrest record, and her ongoing impact through her foundation and family. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or affect any rights or obligations.
