That’s a blatant LIE…Rosa Parks had NOTHING to do with Claudette Clovin and your rosey painting of her is a joke (need we forget she tried to sue OutKast for respectfully mentioning her in a rap song). The NAACP (white/Jewish created) where Parks worked did NOT want a dark skinned young black girl in the limelight b/c they felt she didn’t fit the image they wanted pushed. You need to read up on your FACTS sir.
Here are Clovin’s own words via NPR, I guess she’s a LIAR also???
When asked why she is little known and why everyone thinks only of Rosa Parks, Colvin says the NAACP and all the other black organizations felt Parks would be a good icon because “she was an adult. They didn’t think teenagers would be reliable.”
She also says Parks had the right hair and the right look.
“Her skin texture was the kind that people associate with the middle class,” says Colvin. “She fit that profile.”
After Colvin’s arrest, she found herself shunned by parts of her community. She experienced various difficulties and became pregnant. Civil rights leaders felt she was an inappropriate symbol for a test case.
Parks was the secretary of the NAACP. She was well-known and respected and, says Garrow, Parks had a “natural gravitas” and was an “inherently impressive person.”
