Rosa Parks is remembered for her activism during the Montgomery bus boycott, but other activists and victims of Jim Crow laws have been forgotten. For instance, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat in the same year that Claudette Colvin was arrested for the same crime, found guilty, and placed on probation. However, Claudette became pregnant by an older man shortly after her arrest. Mary Louise Smith was also arrested for the same crime, in the same year, but she was a teenager and her father was an impoverished alcoholic.
